BEAUMONT, April 15, 2014 - A 70-year-old Daisetta, Texas man has been sentenced to five years in federal prison for child pornography violations in the Eastern District of Texas, announced U.S. Attorney John M. Bales today.
Kenneth Claude Davenport pleaded guilty on Sep. 25, 2013 to possession of child pornography and was sentenced to 60 months in federal prison today by U.S. District Judge Thad Heartfield.
According to information presented in court, on Mar. 16, 2011, law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at Davenport's residence in Liberty County, Texas during which two computers and a hard drive were seized. A forensic examination of the computers and equipment revealed 20 videos containing approximately 1,500 images of child pornography. These images included prepubescent minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct, including depictions of violence and minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct with adults. Davenport admitted to using the computer to download and view child pornography approximately twice a week. Davenport was indicted by a federal grand jury on June 20, 2013 and charged with child pornography violations.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.

planar array antennae paintings
thomas asmuth March 2009
This project is an exploration of non-optimal aesthetic design theory as proposed by Anthony Dunne1. I have used a fractal/self-similar formula known as the 'dragon curve' to draw the formal linear element and a planar antennae. These elements are packaged in the form of a painting, a merged idea of aesthetic and communicative value. The linear element in each painting utilizes gold leaf for it's symbolic and conductive properties. The length of each segment is 'tuned' to a quarter wavelength of a particular channel of the 802.11 standard and allows the work to merge with the local network and become part of the delivery of the network.
There are multiple points of view to situate this project into a historiography of art practice. First, through the implicit connection between circuit design and drawing, we can develop a rubric for formal analysis of the object. Drawing and the linear form is integral in this work and in any circuit trace. The process for making a Printed Circuit Board(PCB) traditionally utilizes the method of etching; indistinguishable from the techniques used to make a printmaking plate. Etching is also reductive process of removing material to reveal something else largely akin to carving as a sculptural process. The technique in these pieces is a direct (additive method) application of the conductive material to establish the mark or drawing.
Antennas are transducers; that is, a class of
"...devices by which variations in one physical quantity (e.g. pressure, brightness) are quantitatively converted into variations in another."2
The term coined in the 1920's by the telecommunication industry is derived from Latin for 'to lead across, transfer'. The connections to art are multitudinous but, I have drawn parallels between antennae and liturgical or icon painting for their ability to facilitate lines of communication. in icon painting gold leaf is prized for its ability to shine as if it is lit from within as a demonstration of the light of God. Today along with the exceptional spectral reflectance in wavelengths above one micrometer, gold is also particularly important as an excellent conductor and thus gold is a very effective media to build a transducer. Thus by use of the gold leaf for these works I am paying homage to historic and exploring contemporary methods of communication.
The theme of communication ties this work to Conceptual Art. Multiple layers of systems are embodied in the work. The linear element in each is the result of a rule set which calls for a mark of one length followed by another mark of one length made perpendicular to the first. The final complexity of the form is dependent on the number of iterations in which this rule set is executed. Each object is symbol and agent in establishing a site for communication analogous to Beuys' Rose für direkte Demokratie (Rose for Direct Democracy). In the 'Organization for Direct Democracy through Peoples Referendum', 1972 Beuys used the rose in a graduated cylinder to consecrate sites of discursive contact and as an institutional critique of the gallery/museum complex. Symbolically these paintings stand as objet d'art or sites for aesthetic or scopophilic discourse and gateways to the discourse of the network. This conflation is a purposeful attempt to make these two aspects converse echoing the spirit of Bauhaus or Droog design.
The multiple references and aspects of this project create a complexity that needs to be reconciled. It is a sort of transgenic genealogy that comes with penalties producing morphologically challenged entities. The visual structure yields nothing immediately identifiable as icon painting nor engineering design project. This is not a hybrid; the notion of hibridity suggests a confluence of form that is somehow compatible.
These objects reflect the 'monstrous' ritually assembled from widely variant materials such as industrial paint products, electron microscopy supplies, Medieval painting technique, late 20th century romanticism, and the piety of gilding as a symbol and messenger of light. Like a discussion between the three heads of the Chimera of
Arezzo,3 these forms are the assemblage of products, techniques, and which can be seen as a reflection of desire to facilitate a multilateral discourse.
The efficiency of the product in engineering value is murky as well. These objects give over to "How design can improve the quality of our everyday lives by engaging the invisible electromagnetic environment in which we live."4 Circuit design and engineering are fields concerned with formally optimized spatial and electrical relationships. The pictorial space of these planar antennae are less concerned with optimization of the engineered space than the aesthetic experience through image plane, self similarity algorithms and in the transmission of the network. Certainly, there are specifications that are peculiar to the design which must be maintained in order to serve some functionality (such as the segment length/channel ratio) but, this design is decidedly non-engineered as to the optimal utility of the spectrum. These device-object-tool-fetishes seek an optimization of aesthetics while maintaining reasonable functionality in engineering.

Caltrans Completes Devil's Slide Tunnel Construction
MONTARA - Caltrans cut the ribbon today for the first new highway tunnels in California in nearly 50 years and the longest tunnels in the state – the new Devil's Slide Tunnels on State Route 1 in San Mateo County. The tunnels will officially open to the public tomorrow morning.
"Today, we mark the start of a new chapter for both Caltrans and the local communities," said Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty. "No longer will local residents and businesses have to worry about severe winter storms closing the road and disrupting their lives."
The $439 million project features two 4,200-foot long tunnels, 32 jet-powered fans for ventilation, and 10 fireproof shelters between the tunnels to protect the public.
The new tunnels, located about 15 miles south of San Francisco between Pacifica and Half Moon Bay, bypass a curvy section of SR-1 built in 1937 that has been plagued by rockslides and repeatedly erodes and collapses.
Caltrans has closed the road many times for extended periods to make emergency repairs, hampering local residents and businesses. Each closure turns a seven-mile drive from Pacifica to Montara into a 45-mile detour. One of the longest closures happened in 1995 - it lasted 158 days.
"Devil's Slide has been an enormous undertaking in difficult terrain," said Brian Kelly, Acting Secretary of the Business, Transportation and Housing Agency. "Ingenuity, will, and perseverance combined to get this project done. The new tunnels are state of the art structures that blend well into the beautiful, natural surroundings on this stretch of Highway 1. Thanks to the work of the men and women who dedicated themselves to completing this project, motorists and emergency responders will have a safer journey from this day forward."

RG3 was a walking injury before he ever played a down in the NFL. That's why I viewed him as only a top 10 pick instead of the once in a generation type that everyone wanted to make him out to be last year.
Kaepernick and Wilson both have a long history of being durable. Cam Newton is durable. EJ Manuel is durable. Even RG3 could up his shelf life if he learns how to protect his body.
I don't think this is a fad. It's not the wildcat, it's not a wrinkle in a playbook. It will become the new normal NFL offense until an even better offense takes it's place down the road. The whole point of the point guard style is that it forces defenses to defend more threats. Plus, it's really hard to defend a QB who is good at running and passing. This has been true for decades. Nothing gimmicky about that.
Even before the read option wave hit the NFL, evaluators were over-rating QB mobility going back forever (it was the main reason Tom Brady reached the 6th round, and a big reason why nearly half the GMs in the NFL preferred Sanchez over Stafford). Teams have always coveted mobile QBs, but finding good ones who could also throw is hard to do. But with this new system, it makes the life of a QB so easy that it's a lot easier to find those mobile QBs who can also be effective passers. Colin Kaepernick just gashed the crap out of the Falcons without running almost at all. It was because that whole time the Falcons had to waste a defender just to spy Kaepernick as a runner.
I think that RW is a QB that can run. The other cant pass...Kapernick has very little touch and Has that "I'm invincible". Huge head thing. Meaning he's going to take a shot and be done, he's got that cocky attitude where I think he will start to get targeted if you will
Those teams had better have 2-3 good backups
That's the challenge going forward I beleive...going to have to cycle through qb's (if injury happens...RG 3)..so now to keep some talent you have to pay...then you start to get qb controversy. Back up says "I can play!! Then the chemistry starts to get all effed up. Distraction is not what teams need.
Cam is 6-6 260...and can't throw. They are in the bottom of the league...here is a trivia question. Who's his backup?
These defensive guys are going to start getting tired of chasing these guys!! Someone wo blast one of them with a concussion...and they won't be running so much
Bottom line...if they are passers first and can get out like RW. Different story. He can bomb it around so...

Greenspan Commission Language on Independent Agency
The Greenspan Commission took a much less forceful position on the independent agency issue, calling only for a study of the issue, but expressing a clear preference for independence.
(from the Findings and Recommendations section of the Report)
Social Security Administration as an Independent Agency
(22) The majority of the members of the National Commission believes -- as a broad, general principle -- that it would be logical to have the Social Security Administration be a separate independent agency, perhaps headed by a bi-partisan board. The National Commission recommends that a study should be made as to the feasibility of doing this.*
The Social Security Administration is now part of the Department of Health and Human Services. Its fiscal operations and the size of its staff are larger than those of the remainder of the Department combined.
The National Commission has not had the time to look into the various complex issues involved in such an administrative reorganization and, therefore, recommends that a study group should be formed to look into this matter. Issues involved include whether the leadership of such an independent agency should be assigned to a single individual or whether there should be a governing board of several members, selected on a bi-partisan basis, and whether the operations of the Medicare program should be included in such an independent agency, or whether they should remain as a subsidiary agency within the Department of Health and Human Services, as at present.
* See additional views of Commissioners Ball, Keys, Kirkland, Moynihan, and Pepper in Chapter 4.
Commissioners Robert M. Ball, Martha Keys, Lane Kirkland, Daniel Patrick Moynihan and Claude Pepper (members selected by the Democratic leadership of the Congress)
Social Security as an Independent Agency
We believe that it would improve the operation of the Social Security system and strengthen public confidence in the integrity of the program if it were administered as an independent agency under a bi-partisan Board as it was in the early days of the program. We do not believe that an in-depth study is necessary, but rather any study should be confined to the details of implementation.

Any problems? Do I just install ISPConfig and stop using Webmin? Is there any problem when I upgrade to Squeeze (any day now!)...? Another question is, I have a client who uses Plesk on a Debian box, and this is horrible! it makes it really hard to do anything from the command line as it makes a mess of linux. Is it easy to replace plesk with ISPConfig? I should imagine not! Many Thanks, Andy

The celebrity relationship born on Twitter is still going strong for "iCarly" star Jennette McCurdy and Detroit Pistons star Andre Drummond ... 'cause last night the two went out for a romantic dinner in L.A. and TMZ has the footage.
In case you're unaware, 20-year-old Drummond revealed his longtime crush on 21-year-old McCurdy over the past couple of months during "Woman Crush Wednesdays" on Twitter ... posting several pics of the Nickelodeon star.
Once she got word of his interest, she reached out ... and the two hooked up in real life late last week.
Tuesday night ... it appeared their relationship was still going strong -- the two were spotted holding hands on their way out of Madeo in West Hollywood.
FYI -- Drummond ran the whole date in style ... using a driver to chauffeur the couple to and from the restaurant.

Skydiver Survives Multiple Parachute Failures [VIDEO]
Craig Stapleton, a 51-year-old veteran skydiver, survived an 8,000 foot jump with no working parachute. Read his story and see the video of the jump below.
Stapleton was making a jump with a flag. He had two parachutes but both failed! During his mid-air stunt he spun for three minutes before hitting the ground going about 30-miles-an-hour. Unbelievable that he survived with only a few bruises.
According to ABC News, everything went wrong with jump from the start. He was attempting a stunt called a flag jump with his friend Katie Hanson, but he was traveling too fast. After that he tried to open his main chute, but only half of it deployed. He tried his auxiliary chute, but that went right into his main chute and stuck there. He prepared for the landing by getting into a crouch so he could roll upon impact, but he lucked out. He landed in a row of grapes in recently plowed soil that he said was "very soft."

I'm running 64-bit linux but sadly there's no flash support. I installed a 32-bit binary of firefox that can use the netscape-flash plugin and this saves my day.
So, what usually happens is that I surf around with Opera, find a youtube video I'd like to watch, copy link, open firefox-bin, paste link and hit enter et. voila. (I haven't managed to run netscape-flash in Opera either.)
Now, I've put a launcher in my panel executing firefox-bin. What would be great though was if firefox would launch automatically going to whatever address is in my selection buffer. I don't know if this is xfce4 related at all, I just had this idea and had to write
you can drag the link to the launcher it should open the url, but I don't know of any cli apps that can grab the clipboard
If you middle click the launcher, the content in the clipboard is used for the last argument, so if
is copied into the clipboard, and you middle-click the firefox launcher the Xfce website is openend. This only works in Xfce 4.3.xx.xx btw.
Thanks for your answers.

HANG TIME NEW JERSEY — With each of the four conference semifinals tied at 1-1 (for the first time since this round went to seven games in 1968), it's a great time to mine the lineup data provided by NBA.com/Stats for trends, anomalies, and whatever information might be useful … or at least interesting.
The eight teams remaining have only played between six and nine games, so we're not looking at very big sample sizes here. But small sample sizes are all you have to go on in the playoffs. Decisions have to be made on how players or player combinations have played in that series and against that opponent. Even if you include numbers against the opponent in the regular season, that's at most four additional games of data.
We've already seen some of these teams change lineups mid-series. And sometimes, like when the Dallas Mavericks decided to start J.J. Barea in Game 4 of the 2011 Finals, a lineup change can make a big difference.
So, as we take our first day off of the playoffs, here are some notes from 53 games worth of postseason lineup data…
The drop-off in Indiana
The most-used lineup of the playoffs should be no surprise. The Pacers' starting lineup of George Hill, Lance Stephenson, Paul George, David West and Roy Hibbert have been getting it done on both ends of the floor and were a terrific lineup in the regular season as well. Though Indy ranked 19th defensively overall, this lineup scored at a rate that would have ranked fourth, playing the second-most minutes of any lineup in the league.
It was a plus-48 in the first round and a plus-5 in both Games 1 and 2 of the conference semifinals. The problem, of course, is that the Indiana bench stinks. In 216 minutes, all other Pacers lineups have scored 93.1 points per 100 possessions and allowed 105.8, for a NetRtg of -12.7 in the postseason.
Indy coach Frank Vogel talks often about his emphasis on defending without fouling. That's key to not only keep the Pacers' opponents off the line, but also to keep their starters on the floor.
Over their eight playoff games, every Pacer starter has a positive plus-minus and every sub has a negative one. So maybe the Pacers can benefit as much from three days off as the banged up Knicks can, with an ability to use their rested starters for heavy minutes in Game 3 on Saturday (8 p.m. ET, ABC).
Time for OKC to go small?
Setting a minimum of 35 minutes played, the best lineup (offensively, *defensively and overall) of the postseason has been Oklahoma City's small lineup of Reggie Jackson, Derek Fisher, Kevin Martin, Kevin Durant and Nick Collison. This unit of two point guards, two scoring wings, and a versatile big has outscored its opponents by 46.5 points per 100 possessions and had its best run in Game 6 in Houston, outscoring the Rockets 31-20 in 14 minutes. It was a plus-7 in seven minutes of Game 1 against the bigger Grizzlies, but Scott Brooks didn't use it at all in Game 2 on Tuesday.
If you remove Nick Collison and just look at the four smalls together, they've been just as effective (OffRtg: 130.2, DefRtg: 80.9, NetRtg: +49.3) in a slightly larger sample of 51 minutes (43 against Houston and eight against Memphis).
With Thabo Sefolosha, the Thunder have other small-lineup options. And thus far against the Grizzlies, they're a plus-13 in 14 minutes playing small. They're a minus-17 in 82 minutes playing big and their starting lineup (Jackson, Sefolosha, Durant, Serge Ibaka and Kendrick Perkins has shot a brutal 13-for-47 (28 percent) in its 28 minutes together.
That, of course, will be something to keep an eye on as the series heads to Memphis for Saturday's Game 3 (5 p.m. ET, ESPN).
*The best defensive lineup with a minimum of 35 minutes played was actually the Thunder's original starting lineup, which allowed the Rockets to score just 73.1 points per 100 possessions in the first two games of the first round. But Russell Westbrook's injury puts that lineup out of commission.
Small works in the other West series too
Both Gregg Popovich and Mark Jackson changed their starting lineups for Game 2 in San Antonio on Wednesday, moves that worked out better for the Warriors. Their (small) lineup of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Harrison Barnes, Draymond Green and Andrew Bogut is a plus-17 in the series (plus-12 in Game 2), the second-best mark of the conference semifinals thus far.
It was a mini lineup of Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard and Boris Diaw that pulled off the Spurs' amazing comeback on Monday, racking up a plus-13 in 10 minutes over the fourth quarter and two overtimes. With Tim Duncan and Tiago Splitter healthy, Popovich didn't use that lineup at all in Game 2.
Supersubs in Chicago
Obviously, Wednesday's blowout in Miami makes for some funky lineup numbers in that series, but the Bulls do have a lineup – Nate Robinson, Marco Belinelli, Jimmy Butler, Taj Gibson and Joakim Noah – that's a plus-14 over the two games (plus-13 in 16 minutes in Game 1 and plus-1 in three minutes in Game 2). It was a plus-7 in 21 minutes in the first round and was a strong plus-20.3 points per 100 possessions in 129 minutes in the regular season. If Kirk Hinrich and/or Luol Deng return for Game 3 on Friday (8 p.m. ET, ESPN), it will be interesting to see how much time that lineup plays together going forward.
A change of fortune in Miami
The Heat had a killer lineup – Mario Chalmers, Ray Allen, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh – that Erik Spoelstra used rather sparingly (only 112 minutes), but outscored its opponents by 30.3 points per 100 possessions in the regular season. That lineup was a plus-12 in 10 minutes in the first round against Milwaukee, but is a minus-13 in six minutes in the conference semis, having allowed the Bulls to shoot 6-for-9 (3-for-3 from 3-point range) in the closing minutes of Game 1.
Offensive struggles in New York
The best offensive lineup in the regular season (minimum 200 minutes) was the Knicks' lineup of Raymond Felton, Jason Kidd, J.R. Smith, Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler, which scored 119.3 points per 100 possessions in 269 minutes together. With Kidd, Smith and Anthony all struggling, that unit has scored just 86.6 points per 100 possessions in 18 playoff minutes, and has been even worse defensively.

Rodrigo Marchetti necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 1178 diseños de 251 diseñadores freelance.
I am the director of relationship marketing of this company, "Marchetti Springs." My idea about the company is redesigning the logo and visual identity throughout. This new identity should be modernized over the old. Should be more clean and smooth. Must be strong and striking.
I'm from Brazil, and here only large company give the attention to company's image. As my company is becoming a media company, want to be ahead of the competitor in all aspects, and the image is one of them.
Today the company provides service and sell parts for heavy vehicles, mostly trucks. My company has 30 years of market experience and an established brand and well known. The challenge of redesigning the logo and make it modern. And as far as possible to attract the attention of new customers and companies who need this service.
The current logo represents the letter "M" MARCHETTI with a spring truck below, and i beleave is a very heavy Logo.
You can see what the logo means accessing the website:
But this is only for understand.
I Need to redesign a new logo that is the proposal for a "truck center". Because resell "truck springs" was the begining of the company, but today i sell o lot of diferent things like: tires, shock absorbers, springs, brakes, accessories in general.
My ideia is to have a logo, without names. And in his side or under it the name of the company: MARCHETTI. And in small words the slogan "Truck Center" on the right side...
But the writen is not impotant, the logo is.
You Can be creative.
New logo must be:
- Simple and clean.
- Easy to remember.
- Easy to understand it if the costumers know the old one. But don't bee the same like the old logo.
- The principal name is only "MARCHETTI" - and the slogan "Auto Truck" or " Truck Center"
Good luck!

Domenici Restores $11.5 M for Training at Tech, Dec. 19, 2001
(202) 224-7082
WASHINGTON, D.C., December 19, 2001 -- U.S. Senator Pete Domenici today reported success in reinstating $11.5 million in new funding to expand the First Responders training program carried out at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology in Socorro.
Domenici, as a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, helped negotiate final funding levels in a $20 billion "September 11 emergency response" supplemental appropriations package to boost national defense and homeland security. The package will be given final congressional passage this week as part of the FY2002 Defense Appropriations Bill. From there it will be sent to President Bush for his consideration.
The New Mexico Tech funding, initially secured at the appropriations committee level, was eliminated when the Senate voted to kill a separate supplemental package offered by Senator Robert Byrd (D-W.V.) because of serious budgetary challenges and a potential presidential veto threat.
For House-Senate conference negotiations Tuesday, Domenici then went to work to have the First Responder funding restored within the $20 billion package that should have the blessing of the White House.
"This is a real coup to get this funding restored. In building on domestic preparedness concerns that the whole nation shares, it is only right that we expand the successful First Responder program. New Mexico Tech has proven to be a valuable member of the team that helps get local authorities ready to combat any serious emergency," Domenici said.
Domenici confirmed that New Mexico Tech and its three partners in First Responder training will each receive an $11.5 million increase to greatly expand their ability to train communities in responding to emergency or terrorist situations.
The $11.5 million in supplemental appropriations will be, when enacted, added to the $3.5 million already provided for the New Mexico school through the FY2002 Commerce, Justice, State and the Judiciary (CJS) Appropriations Bill. President Bush signed the CJS bill in late November. New Mexico Tech will have a total of $15 million in FY2002 for First Responder training, which is $10.5 million more than the $4.5 million it was provided in FY2001 for this work. The training is provided through New Mexico Tech's Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center.
New Mexico Tech prepares first responders such as firefighters, law enforcement, medical and other emergency personnel to respond to potential acts of terrorism, including chemical, biological and nuclear threats.
New Mexico Tech was one of the four institutions tapped for the first responder training effort as part of the National Domestic Preparedness Consortium (NDPC). Other NDPC partners include Louisiana State University, Texas A&M University, and the Nevada Test Site.
On Dec. 14, Domenici helped announce a new initiative involving New Mexico Tech and its expertise in domestic preparedness training.
New Mexico Tech and the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center in Albuquerque, with financial support from the Department of Energy, have formed the Emergency Medical Support Training Program. New Tech and the UNM hospital
will use their unique capabilities to better prepare medical workers in handling emergencies involving explosives or possible exposure to chemical, biological, radiological, or other environmental agents. The program is being initiated through $2 million provided by the DOE Emergency Operations Training Academy at Kirtland Air Force Base.

Why Breastfeeding Makes
a Difference
Babies were born to be breastfed.
Human milk protects infants from
many infections and conditions:
– ear, skin, stomach, and
respiratory infections
– Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
– diarrhea, necrotizing enterocolitis
Human milk reduces infant long term
– obesity, type 1 and 2 diabetes
– asthma, and childhood leukemia
Mothers who breastfeed:
– are healthier
– have less postpartum bleeding
– return to their pre-pregnancy
weight faster
– have a reduced risk of postpartum
depression and type 2 diabetes
– have a reduced risk of breast and
ovarian cancer
Breastfeeding families save money on
food and health care costs.
Employers and communities benefit
from healthier families and less parental
absenteeism from work.
Breastfeeding is good for the environment:
– uses less energy
– creates less waste
How Employers Benefit
Employers who have adopted supportive
breastfeeding polices have noted: 2
A total cost savings benefit of $3 for
every $1 invested
Breastfeeding support at the work place
can help a company's bottom line.
Less illness and decreased health care
costs of about $400 per breastfed baby
in the first year of life
Breastfed infants typically have fewer
sick care visits, prescriptions, and
hospital stays.
Reduced parental absenteeism to care
for ill children.
Mothers of formula-fed babies have
higher rates of 1-day work absences.
Improved employee productivity
Better health and more days at work
mean increased output.
Higher morale and greater loyalty
A supportive work environment can
boost employee satisfaction.
Improved ability to retain valuable
Some women resign if they expect or
experience difficulty in continuing to
breastfeed when they return to work.
Improved ability to attract valuable
Employers who are supportive of their
breastfeeding employees will have a
more positive, family-friendly image
in their community.

Becoming an innkeeper is a curious transition that starts with worrying about all the little details (do we have enough toilet paper? Is the boiler working?) and eventually transforms to a place where the small interactions with one's guests can make or break a year. On that front, 2011 is a very good year.
Thus begins the tale of the red chair. We moved to Woods Hole last year and made numerous trips to the swap shop (a wonderful institution at the town dump where you can drop off or pick up gently used stuff) and one day we found these two painted red wooden chairs. Pretty solid, I said to my husband. Yes, perfect for our new porch, he mused. So into the trunk they went, paint peeling a bit, dirt crusted in the corners but a nice solid color, definitely worth cleaning up.
Six months later, in January, the small pond behind our house froze. We decided to go skating one afternoon. I grabbed one of the red chairs to help the kids get their skates on. It was glowery and cold, with the light threatening to turn to actual darkness. The pond was grey, silent, ringed with houses many of them dark in winter. I stamped my feet to keep warm, listening to the skates whisk across the ice. Cold and too dark now, I hustled the kids inside for dinner. As we cleared the gear, I looked back and noticed we had forgotten the red chair. There is sat, alone on the pond. I snapped it's portrait with my handy iPhone.
Later that evening, I posted the picture on Facebook as part of my photo project ("365" – I attempt a new picture every day). The image of the red chair ignited my FB friends and fans — I have never received as many comments. People wanted copies of the photo, poster size. I explained that this picture was taken on my iPhone in low light — unlikely to look very good blown up beyond 5×7.
One day in March, I received an email from a prospective guest from Santa Barbara. She was coming to Boston to see her boyfriend and they were looking for a good place to stay. She had seen my photos of Woods Hole on Facebook and wanted to come to the Woods Hole Inn because Woods Hole looked so beautiful (which it is, BTW). Wow, I thought, all the way from the west coast…it really is a small online world. She booked the room. As we got close to the date, she emailed again. She was a photographer, she said, and she loved my picture with the red chair. Could she borrow it over the weekend for a photo shoot?
Well, I have to admit my first reaction was, huh? Now that is an unusual request! That's MY chair. Then I remembered the swap shop. This is not my chair at all, it is a chair passing through my life and I need to share it, I reasoned. It is meant to be shared. I loaded the chair up in my Prius, drove it over and parked it on the front porch of the Inn.
We had a family obligation that weekend and I left the Inn in the hands of my very competent staff. When I came back, on Monday, the chair was still on the porch and I asked — did our guest use the chair? Oh, I told her where it was and I think she did. Well, did she say anything about it? Nope, said she had a good time, that was it. Hmmm, not very satisfying after hauling the chair across town but I brought it home and forgot about it.
About a month later, the red chair guest emailed asking for our address. She had taken a picture with the chair and wanted to send me a copy. She said the red chair had opened a whole new place in her work and she wanted to thank me. I emailed back that she could just send me a digital file or post it on Facebook but she said no, she had something to send me.
Turns out our red chair guest is a professional nature photographer. And a really good one at that.
About two weeks later a huge package arrived — what is this, I thought, what have I ordered now? I opened the package, and there was the most incredible shot of Nobska Beach in winter, with the red chair out on the beach before the crashing waves. I was literally breathless looking at this image, tears welled. It was such a simple composition, both the chair and the beach so familiar to me and yet a totally fresh and new juxtaposition. The winter waves crashing toward the grey sand. The snow fence perfectly framing it, inviting me in. Breathtaking.
I carried it around the inn like a teenage girl with a Justin Bieber autograph. Look at this! This came from our guest! Can you believe it #@*?!! It's the red chair! I put it right up in a prominent place by our guest water cooler. I put a little sign next to it with the photographer's website. I emailed her a love note of appreciation.
So now, whenever I pass this picture, I think about the dialogue we have with our guests. Sometimes it's as simple as can I have another towel, or where is the best place for dinner tonight? Or repetitious, yes the Martha's Vineyard ferry is right across the street. Or even disappointing, as when someone is tired or grumpy.
But this dialogue always involves the give and take between real people who come to the inn with the rich back stories of whole and interesting lives. It reminds me that we mostly scratch the surface when there are oceans of personality, talent, life experience floating underneath the rote interactions (here is your room key, breakfast is served between 8 and 10, the parking lot is right behind the building). I wonder if we added questions like, what is your favorite color, what does the ocean mean to you and have you ever read Sartre? — would we learn more or just scare people? Probably the latter.
For me, the metaphor of the red chair is the invitation to come explore yourself in a quiet and beautiful place. It is an open seat at the table of relaxation. It is the beckoning hand of civilization, marking the edge of the wildness of nature where you can lose and find yourself at the same time. It is the dialogue between artists and innkeepers, dreamers and shop-girls, lost travelers and those that welcome them into warm beds. We are all – on some level — lovers of destination, landscape, color.
What does the red chair mean to you?

The leggy blonde behind the microphone clears her throat one final time. The capacity crowd-already restless in anticipation of the first pitch on Opening Day-struggles to temper themselves. The players line the base paths, hats over hearts, shifting their weight from leg to leg as nerves tighten. Finally, a silky but dynamic voice fills the stadium.
Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?
Out of the western skies-over the right field grandstands-a whisper like a faraway wind that merely tempts, "Hey, over here." At first you ignore it, but the whisper intensifies, "Hey you, look over here." You still don't, until the whisper finally becomes earsplitting, "For God friggin' sake, look up here dumbass."
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
There's nothing over the grandstands but wispy clouds and a few wayward seagulls. However, an F5 tornado may be fast approaching. With one hand, you grab your seat's arm rest to anchor yourself to the ground, and to dear life. With the other, you snatch some sagging fabric on your 4-year-old son's jacket. You pinch him by accident. He yelps and drops his Cracker Jacks.
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
Even an F5 tornado would shit its pants in the face of whatever is right outside the stadium. "God willing, we'll meet again in death," you tell your son.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet waaaave
"Let go of me jackass," he yells back. Where did we get a mouth like that?
O'er the land of the free and the home of the braaaaaaaaaaa…
Suddenly, four fighter jets appear above the grandstands like mighty baby phoenixes exploding out of the vagina of the gods. The robust roar of internal combustion turbojet engines shake your bladder dreadfully near, and possibly even a bit beyond, the point of incontinence. Your soul is rendered impotent to its core. You impulsively let go of both your chair and your child, thrusting two fists into the air, pumping them as if you're beating a hole in the heavens. Every molecule of which your physical body consists is screaming "Fuck everybody, everywhere." This is the point where your life would flash before your eyes, but you haven't truly lived before this moment.
When you finally come to, the rumble in the sky is gradually dissipating. The collateral damage is profound: the scattered Cracker Jacks, the hot dog smooched under your foot, the bleeding of your son's arm. Despite the lingering shame, at least next time you'll know it's coming.

|IAMSLIC Union List of Serials
Participant Libraries Area - add and manage your library holdings.
Libraries wishing to participate by adding their holdings to the Union List will need to request authorization for access to this capability.
The Union List is NOT a document delivery service for individuals who are seeking to obtain copies of articles; individuals should contact the interlibrary loan office in their institution's library.
At the Spring 1997 Cyamus Workshop in La Paz, it was decided that a two-pronged approach should be tried to revive the union list. Those libraries who could readily produce a text file of their serial holdings, with the serial title as the first element of each record, could submit such files to Joe Wible at Hopkins Marine Station for inclusion in the searchable version of the union list. Those libraries who could not supply their lists in that format could use this site to enter their holdings for titles in their collections, to be combined later in a single searchable index to records in both formats.
In summer of 2000, the platform supporting the Union List was upgraded to enable better management of records by participating libraries. It no longer relies on static HTML pages for each journal title. Libraries who are interested in joining the union list project should contact Steve Watkins at the address below. Z39.50 access to the union list has been incorporated into the IAMSLIC Z39.50 Distributed Library project hosted by California State University, Monterey Bay.
The list of serials contained here was derived from the list of source journals for Aquatic Sciences & Fisheries Abstracts as a starting point. Libraries may also submit additional serial titles to be added to the database, along with their holdings data. In this fashion, it is hoped that a more comprehensive listing of marine and aquatic sciences serials will develop, along with information on owning libraries and their lending practices.
Please send comments or feedback to Steve Watkins at California State University, Monterey Bay.

Each week we post a round-up of some of our most exciting national and international PUP book coverage. Reviews, interviews, events, articles–this is the spot for coverage of all things "PUP books" that took place in the last week. Enjoy!
Planning your outdoor adventures for the upcoming summer? Picnic baskets, sunscreen — the list of outdoor essentials goes on. But this summer, PUP is adding another item to the list, and you won't want to leave home without it.
BirdGenie™ is a remarkable app that enables anyone with a supported Apple® or Android® smartphone or tablet to identify birds in the backyard, at the local park, or on the nature trail–all with the tap of a button! It's like Shazam® for nature–just hold up your phone, record the bird singing, and BirdGenie tells you what bird it is! This summer, PUP will be releasing two apps, each covering a separate region: Backyard Birds East and Backyard Birds West. This week, the apps were featured in Inside Higher Ed, and the article quotes one of the developers, Tom Stephenson, author of The Warbler Guide:
"The one thing about field guides is that the print medium isn't quite sufficient for the information that you're trying to relay, but it's been the only vehicle up until recently. Having a vehicle like an app or an ebook that has multimedia capabilities is not only natural, but really adds a lot value. The song identification app is another step further."
Each regional app contains eighty vocalization types for sixty bird species, covering almost all of the birds you are likely to encounter. When you hear a singing bird and make a clear recording with your smartphone or tablet, BirdGenie identifies the bird if it is an included species, tells you exactly how confident it is that the identification is correct, and provides audio samples of the bird's various songs to compare with your own recording, as well as color photos, useful information, and links to further reading. No internet connection is needed, making BirdGenie accessible everywhere you go.
For those who have mastered — or almost mastered — modern math, we're traveling back in time to bring you a curve-ball problem. David Reimer's Count Like an Egyptian provides a fun, hands-on introduction to the intuitive and often-surprising art of ancient Egyptian math. Reimer guides you step-by-step through addition, subtraction, multiplication, and more. He even shows you how fractions and decimals may have been calculated–they technically didn't exist in the land of the pharaohs. You'll be counting like an Egyptian in no time, and along the way you'll learn firsthand how mathematics is an expression of the culture that uses it, and why there's more to math than rote memorization and bewildering abstraction.
The book was reviewed in the Washington Post. Nancy Szokan says:
You get the feeling that David Reimer must be a pretty entertaining teacher. An associate professor of mathematics at the College of New Jersey, he has taken on the task of explaining ancient math systems by having you use them. And though it's not easy, he manages to lead you, step by step, through a hieroglyphic based calculation of how many 10-pesu loaves of bread you can make from seven hekat of grain.
Professor Reimer also puts his book to the "Page 99 test" (open your book to page 99 and see a snapshot of the book). Check it out! Prefer to start from the beginning? You can also read the introduction here.
Don't leave the post just yet, mathematics fans. Our author, Joseph Mazur, wrote a piece for the Guardian this week about the origins of mathematical symbols. His book, Enlightening Symbols, explains the fascinating history behind the development of our mathematical notation system. He shows how symbols were used initially, how one symbol replaced another over time, and how written math was conveyed before and after symbols became widely adopted.
He writes:
A few years ago friends and I were talking about the origins of written music. When the conversation turned to the origins of math symbols, I was surprised to learn that few people knew that almost all maths was written rhetorically before the 16th century, often in metered poetry. Most people think symbols for addition, subtraction or equality had been around long before Euclid wrote his Elements in the first century BCE. No! The original Elements is rhetorical. There are no symbols in Euclid's works, aside from the letters marking the ends of lines and corners of geometric objects. There are no symbols in any early Arab algebra books. Nor do we find any in early European printed algebra books.
Check out Chapter One of his book.
This week, the Economist published a review of a new book by Edmund Fawcett, Liberalism: The Life of an Idea. The piece says:
Sometimes it seems as if liberalism is slowly caving in. Western democracies are battered by partisanship and populism. Inequality is undermining social cohesion. Governments are unconvincingly shoring up expensive welfare states that have failed to match their promise. Meanwhile, the running is being made by places such as Turkey, which has an intolerant majority, and China and Russia, where power cannot be contested. "Liberalism" by Edmund Fawcett is not only a gripping piece of intellectual history, it also equips the reader to understand today's threats—and how they might be withstood.
Check out the review in its entirety. Liberalism was released this spring. In this engrossing history of liberalism–the first in English for many decades–veteran political observer Edmund Fawcett traces the ideals, successes, and failures of this central political tradition through the lives and ideas of a rich cast of European and American thinkers and politicians, from the early nineteenth century to today.
Using a broad idea of liberalism, the book discusses celebrated thinkers from Constant and Mill to Berlin, Hayek, and Rawls, as well as more neglected figures. Its twentieth-century politicians include Franklin D. Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, and Willy Brandt, but also Hoover, Reagan, and Kohl. The story tracks political liberalism from its beginnings in the 1830s to its long, grudging compromise with democracy, through a golden age after 1945 to the present mood of challenge and doubt.

At PJ Media, Christian Adams points out that former IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman "isn't the only non-cabinet member from the Obama administration to visit the White House an extraordinary number of times." Tom Perez, assistant attorney general for civil rights, made 83 visits during the period covered by White House logs examined by the Daily Caller.
This makes Perez the third most frequent visitor to the White House. Only Shulman and Deputy Commerce Secretary Rebecca Blank visited more often.
What was Perez discussing at the White House? We don't know. But Adams notes that during the period when these visits occurred, Perez allowed the nation's voter rolls to swell with millions of dead voters by refusing to bring any cases under Section 8 of the Motor Voter law. That law requires states to maintain clean voter rolls before federal elections. Instead, thanks to Perez, millions of dead and ineligible voters remained on the rolls for the November 2012 election.
Here, then, is a common thread — both Perez and Shulman headed governmental units performing tasks that served the political interests of President Obama and his party. Did this work help them become frequent White House visitors? Or is Perez another Easter Egg Hunt enthusiast?

The story of Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani girl shot through the head by the Taliban 12 months ago for daring to speak out on the rights of women, is already the stuff of modern legend.
Last month a painting of her was unveiled at the National Portrait Gallery in London; last week she addressed a global audience in New York on behalf of Bill and Hillary Clinton; and next week, at the age of 16, she will publish her autobiography, I am Malala.
''I want to tell my story,'' she writes. ''But it will also be the story of the 61 million children who can't get education. I want it to be part of the campaign to give every sister and brother the right to go to school.''
In a week when David Cameron was forced to say he was a feminist after all (having lamely ducked the question in a magazine interview with an "um…er"); when singer Miley Cyrus posed naked with a sledgehammer and claimed it was subversive; and when the gender pay gap in Britain was highlighted yet again, who couldn't fail to be cheered up by a 16-year-old girl in an orange dupatta giving us a spoonful of idealism?
Here she was brushing her hand shyly across her face and, in the same breath, telling America with a cheeky teenage smile that it was about time they had a woman president. What a welcome break from the grown-up, dull-eyed world of PR, commercialism, twittering and twerking and fame-seeking reality television.
It's exactly a year since Malala first hit the headlines, her shattered body on a stretcher for all to see, after she was shot by Taliban gunmen on her way to school in Mingora, in north-western Pakistan.
The bullet, which passed through her skull and became embedded in her shoulder, was a punishment for the blog that she began writing as an 11-year-old to highlight the repression of women in her region.
Now she is a global symbol and, with her still childish, high-pitched voice, she has not just made us aware of the glaring atrocities in her own Taliban-run culture, but also some of the less-than-perfect aspects of our own world – although respectfully and with all the manners of a very nicely brought up girl. Malala has also been quick to point out the best of Britain and Pakistan, repeatedly thanking the doctors and nurses who saved her life and her hearing along the way.
Yet it's hard not to feel more than a shudder of anxiety on her behalf when you see the pictures of her with pink teddy bears sent by well-wishers. Modestly she describes herself as "just one girl among many". But the weight of expectation on Malala is enormous, with many predicting already that she will one day be the prime minister of Pakistan.
When she was painted by the artist Johnny Yeo, he showed her finishing her homework. Yeo was struck by her diffidence and schoolgirl innocence. "She didn't choose to end up as well known as she is," he said. Ironically, it is this that makes her portrait stand out in stark contrast as it hangs alongside those of David Cameron and Lady Gaga.
In a world of shiny, attention-grabbing celebrities in pink PVC pants, and politicians who are terrified of offending voters, her combination of youth, modesty and idealism, make Malala one classy classless act.
What she demonstrates above all is that anyone who truly believes in equality, and has nearly paid with their life for it, does not think twice about defining it, and that the genuinely subversive lead not by public relations, but by inspiration.
How I've been turned on to Bake Off
Coming late to The Great British Bake Off feels like being invited to the reception party, but not the wedding.
There's a tranche of references from earlier series about Soapy's soufflé and Ruby's sweet buns that I'll never be fully au fait with.
The longer it's gone on, the more I've resisted, which has only compounded the problem. So as series four began and all the knowing Bake Off chit chat took off, I was determined to rise above it, like a perfectly judged Victoria sponge.
But somehow it's become too overwhelming to ignore and I've given in….
Who knew suet could be that gripping? Who expected to get so wound up by a profiterole? How can the glaze on chocolate icing be so compelling? And isn't great to see women dominating a prime-time show?
But most of all, what a joy Mary Berry is. All that gentle encouragement in the face of the most curdled catastrophe. She even looks like she's made out of icing, with her little crystal angelica eyes and glacé cherry mouth.
Best of all, her commentary reads like a subliminal philosophy for life: ''Everybody's cloth is special''; ''Even when I get a recipe, I decide I'm going to do something else''; and most reassuringly of all: ''Keep it light''.
Let the state run our state schools
Iam the product of a reassuringly mediocre Eighties comprehensive school education, not dissimilar to David Walliams's and Catherine Tate's Big School. (Our Chemistry teacher watched Neighbours in the Bunsen burner cupboard, leaving us to mix Ribena and hydrochloric acid cocktails and carve the names of Duran Duran on the wooden benches.) And to me the gap between the private and state sector has always seemed to be a chasm.
Now, as a part-time teacher and a parent in North London, possibly the most divided educational landscape in the universe, I'm even more aware of the aching distance between the star-gazing "posh" kids and those fending for themselves.
So this week's call from Sir Michael Wilshaw that private schools do more for the state sector struck a chord.
But isn't the Ofsted chief playing the class card here to detract from the real issues on state education? While private schools can bask in small classes of selected students, those in the public sector are dealing with greater challenges.
It takes more than a fancy motto and a first-class ability to conjugate Latin verbs, as one major public school discovered when the academy it was sponsoring in Wiltshire ran into crisis.
Surely the government, rather than Eton, is supposed to be running our schools. Although, come to think of it, who can tell the difference?
When 40 winks is the best therapy
Congratulations to Claire Danes for discovering what the British have known for generations.
The cure for existential angst, morbid self-doubt and overwhelming anxiety is not always a very expensive course of therapy.
Sometimes, it is just a good old-fashioned nap.
Danes, 34, who stars as the angst-ridden, obsessive CIA agent in Homeland, attributes her newfound faith in a bit of "zzzz" rather than "a lot of therapy" to her appreciation of British reserve.
She is married to the English actor Hugh Dancy, who introduced her to the art of snoozing.
"I'm from the land of therapy, and I love it. Therapy is great,' says Danes, in next month's Vogue.
"But Hugh really helped me discover that, a lot of the time, I'm just tired. I don't have to go through this labyrinthine explanation. There doesn't have to be that much back story. I can just be in need of a nap."
As a naturally gifted and knowledgeable "napper", I can reassure Danes there is scientific evidence to back up the case for a snooze. Research among pilots shows that a 26-minute "Nasa nap" in flight (presumably the co-pilot takes over) enhances alertness by 54 per cent.
Maybe someone should mention that to Carrie, her exhausted Homeland counterpart.

Chicago Post-Tribune published this deansguide article 7-18-09
The summer of 2009 may go down as one of the most memorable times for the loss of so many influential people. Many would argue that the list of people who have passed away this summer is less than memorable. Yet we all have our favorites and what we value. One man's trash is another man's treasure. For me, a complete fanatic of social pop culture, these people mark times and memories in my life. The people who were my peers remind me of my own vulnerability to the inevitable. With each loss, we should remember and honor in the best way possible. In no particular order:
1. Farrah Fawcet: Iconic super model actress of the 1970's spawned an entire hairstyle and look
2. Walter Cronkite: The greatest newsman anchor who ever slipped on a microphone–period!
3. Michael Jackson: Greatest dancer, R&B singer, creative talent of my generation
4. Steve McNair: Crushing the myth of the black QB with NFL excellence
5. Ed McMahon: The Alltime 2nd banana
6. Arturo Gatti: Known for his two guns smokin style of brawling, Gatti gave his heart and soul to boxing
7. Karl Malden: A San Francisco institution right "Stevie Boy?" Streets of San Francisco loved Karl
8. Billy Mays: Pop culture pitchman, too loud but extremely sucessful in getting our attention even with the volume off!

Bilingual thoughts on life, language, learning, and all things Latina.
Tuesday, February 16, 2010
Student to Teacher
We read this poem together. I choked up on the first read, as I always do. Hughes does that to me. We then read it in parts, we role-played, we talked about message and meaning, and the poet's use of the vernacular.
No, I don't teach high school English. I teach 4th grade English Language Learners.
"Did you like this poem?" I asked as the bell rang for lunch.
"Oh YES Miss! That's how my mom talks to me!"
"Now THAT's some good advice he gave in the poem."
"I LOVE how you read that Miss!"
"Can I keep the paper Miss? Can I memorize it?"
"Let's do another one tomorrow Miss!"
Mother to Son, by Langston Hughes (1902 - 1967)
Well, son, I'll tell you:
Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.
It's had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor --
But all the time
I'se been a-climbin' on,
And reachin' landin's,
And turnin' corners,
And sometimes goin' in the dark
Where there ain't been no light.
So boy, don't you turn back.
Don't you set down on the steps
'Cause you finds it's kinder hard.
Don't you fall now --
For I'se still goin', honey,
I'se still climbin',
And life for me ain't been no crystal stair.

This post really hit home. Lately, I've found myself doing the same thing-choking up while reading something in class that I think is SO important. We've been reading about Harriet Tubman and Martin Luther King, Jr. I teach 3rd grade, and most people don't realize what an impact these poems and stories can have on our little guys.
I used to try to be "professional" but I've recently discovered that when I allow myself the permission to tear up when we're reading something important, or touching, the kids respond in a totally different way.
It feels good to hear that the same thing is happening in other people's classrooms across the country.

Update – Missing Snowmobilers Found Safe [AUDIO]
Update 12:00 p.m. Monday..
Deputy Bob Parcell says the two missing snowmobilers from Helena were found safely just before noon on Monday not far from Seeley Lake by a helicopter from Kalispell. Parcell says the two men built a fire and stayed put with their snowmobiles overnight, then tried to hike out in the morning. The helicopter picked up the two men who were tired and cold, but uninjured.
Deputy Bob Parcell
Missoula County Search and Rescue was called out at about 10:30 Sunday night to look for two missing snowmobilers in the Seeley Lake area.
Deputy Bob Parcells with the county sheriff's department says the two Helena men went into the area Sunday afternoon and have not been heard from since.
Parcells says the area has received significan snowfall, so the snowmobile tracks are difficult to follow. The falling snow is also keeping any aircraft that might be able to assist on the ground.
The search went on all night, and will continue throughout the day.

Disney has unveiled plans to roll out a revolutionary new digital reservation system at its four Florida theme parks allowing visitors to pre-book rides, shows, parades, restaurants and character meet-and-greets months before a vacation.
So when will this latest dose of pixie dust spread to Disneyland and other parks in the theme park chain?
Disney officials won't divulge an expansion timeline, but mouse-watchers say the new MyMagic+ vacation management system rolling out this spring at Walt Disney World could debut at Anaheim's two theme parks as early as next year.
How does MyMagic+ work? After signing up online for perks and reservations, visitors will receive a MagicBand radio frequency identification (RFID) bracelet that functions in the Orlando parks as a digital wallet filled with their hotel room key, park ticket, FastPass vouchers, souvenir photos, dinner reservations and credit card information -- all available at the flick of the wrist.
Let's say you want to snap a picture with Cinderella, redeem your FastPass for Space Mountain, purchase some Mickey Mouse ears, chow down on a corn dog, sip on a Dole Whip, hop from one park to another, pop into your hotel room or check in for dinner. Simply wave your MagicBand over a sensor and -- voila -- the transaction is complete. No need to carry cash, credit, tickets or room keys.
On-the-fly changes to FastPass or dinner reservations can be made via a smartphone app, which will also provide real-time ride wait times and FastPass availability at the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disney's Animal Kingdom.
The MyMagic+ service and the MagicBand bracelets will be free to Disney hotel guests and annual pass-holders. Day visitors who arrive by car or stay at off-site hotels will be issued an RFID card. Custom MagicBands will be available for purchase.
The MyMagic+/MagicBand initiative is part of a larger $1-billion NextGen project designed to introduce more technology-enabled interactions into the Disney vacation empire.
NextGen enhancements have already turned up in interactive ride queues in Florida (Haunted Mansion, Test Track and Dumbo), the illuminating Glow with the Show ears that work in concert with the "World of Color" show in Anaheim, the enchanted artwork that comes to life aboard Disney cruise ships and the smartphone-enabled treasure hunts at Hawaii's Aulani resort.
The futuristic changes promise to fundamentally transform the theme park experience for both good and bad.
Critics have been quick to point out the MagicBands are nothing more than Orwellian tracking devices loaded with personal data and capable of recording your every movement and purchase.
At the same time, MyMagic+ has the potential to establish a two-tier caste system of haves and have-nots. Will day visitors and annual pass-holders find that deep-pocketed Disney hotel guests have virtually snapped up every FastPass voucher, restaurant reservation and parade seat before the parks open each day?
While the day-to-day realities of the new system remain to be seen, history tells us Disney is meticulous about visitor experience and making adjustments based on customer reactions. Expect Disney World to address any concerns and iron out all the wrinkles during the initial test-and-adjust phase.
As for MagicBands at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure?
Disneyland officials will only say they are waiting to see how MyMagic+ and MagicBands work with Walt Disney World's 47 million annual visitors before deciding whether to implement the system in Anaheim.
"This is rolling out at Walt Disney World and we don't yet know how it will look at other parks," Disneyland spokeswoman Suzi Brown said in a statement. "The way we think about these experiences will vary based on the unique ways guests enjoy each of our parks, resorts and other vacation experiences."
MiceChat columnist Al Lutz, the bane of Disney's existence, reports that Disneyland's MyMagic+/MagicBand will start rolling out in summer 2014 and continue into 2015.
It's a safe bet that Disney has had the foresight to future-proof new attractions like DCA's Cars Land, Disneyland's Fantasy Faire princess village opening this spring and the Shanghai Disneyland park set to debut in late 2015 or early 2016.

SunView Enterprises necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 148 diseños de 49 diseñadores freelance.
TSGLV our website is tsglv.com
We are builders and a consultation company. We build data centers for companies, but not in the traditional way. We have designed an air flow system that is unique and want to show that in our logo. Our tag line is "It's all about air flow." I am redesigning the webpage and want to get the logo finalized before I begin my work there, so I would like to get ideas quickly. I want to conceptually show some kind of air flow symbol along with our name and tag line. I have seen some designs showing arrows in different directions, which I like. The infinity symbol is intriguing to me. I want to keep it simple.
Our clients are those companies who think outside the box. Most data centers have a large building with tons of airconditioning units ouside to maintain temperatures inside. We utilize the environment to maintain temperatures inside the buildings we build. It means we bring in outside air when it is cool, and only use airconditioning when it is over 90 degrees outside.
The logo needs to be simple, yet unique. We like the colors of blue (cold) and red (hot) and we want to use it on our webpage, our business cards, letterhead, and clothing. Good luck!

LIGHT UP Therapy Resort
LIGHT UP Therapy Resort is a pseudo healing sanctuary situated in the city center of Shanghai. Assembling a group of contemporary Chinese artists across the world, curators Tiffany Fung and Lu Siqiao design an immersive therapy program that models after the urbanite's dream retreat.
The exhibition responds to the diverse conditions of mental health in modern life to examine the complex sources of shared anxieties: some stem from social phenomena, such as food and public safety, marriage, the development of information technology; some are rooted in deeply private internal processes.
Meanwhile, the exhibition distinct self-coping mechanisms informed by interdisciplinary research and personal experiences. In witness of the emergence of commercialized mental health services, alternative healing practices and the rise of therapeutic culture, LIGHT UP Therapy Resort seeks to shed light to the often neglected yet urgent issue of emotional wellbeing in contemporary China.
LIGHT UP Therapy Resort opens November 25, 2017 and runs through March 9, 2018 at the Swatch Art Peace Hotel.


text: Houston County, created in 1821 from Creek Indian land, is named not for Sam Houston of Texas as many assume but for Governor John Houston of the Revolutionary period. (The name is correctly pronounced House-ton.) He called the first gathering of the Sons of Liberty in 1774, participated as a member of the Continental Congress and served as governor from 1778 to 1784. Perry, the county seat, honors Captain Oliver H. Perry who defeated the British in the Battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812.

CORRECTED1 Antitrust: Commission fines members of fasteners cartels over €303 million
The European Commission has fined YKK, Prym and Coats and four others a total of € 303 644 000 for operating cartels on the markets for fasteners and attaching machines in Europe and worldwide, in clear violation of EC Treaty rules that outlaw restrictive business practices (Article 81). The decision names five subsidiaries of the above groups, together with Scovill group, A. Raymond, Berning & Söhne and the German trade association Fachverband Verbindungs- und Befestigungstechnik, which also participated in one of the infringements. Fasteners such as zips are used, for example, in clothes and footwear, and are also used in industry. The Commission has found four separate infringements in which these companies agreed on coordinated price increases, fixed minimum prices, allocated customers, shared markets and exchanged other commercially important and confidential information. Prym group received full immunity from fines under the Commission's leniency programme in respect of the worldwide cartel on the markets for other fasteners and attaching machines, as it was the first to provide information about this cartel. In addition, the fines imposed on Prym group for its involvement in the other infringements discovered were also lowered as a result of the company's cooperation. Smaller reductions of the fines were also granted to the YKK group and the Coats group as a result of their cooperation under the Commission's leniency programme.
Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes said: "It is unacceptable that the major fastening technology producers colluded for such a long time to maintain artificial price levels and to share customers and markets for products which are used every day by a lot of consumers. The highest management of these companies was well aware that this conduct was illegal, but decided to continue anyway."
The Commission began the investigation on its own initiative after certain information had been brought to its attention. This led to surprise inspections in November 2001 at the premises of several Community producers of hard and soft haberdashery. In turn, these inspections triggered applications from Prym group, Coats group and YKK group for immunity or reduction of fines under the Commission's leniency programme.
The cartels
The evidence uncovered in the inspections showed that the companies ran illegal cartels on the markets for zip fasteners, other fasteners (e.g. snap buttons, rivets.) and their attaching machines. This was further confirmed and complemented by numerous documents and statements provided by the leniency applicants.
The first cartel, involving the YKK group, the Prym group, the Scovill group, A. Raymond, Berning & Söhne and the association VBT), ran from 1991 until at least 2001. During this period the above companies agreed among other things on coordinated price increases in annual "price rounds" with respect to 'other fasteners' and their attaching machines, in the framework of the work circles organised by the trade association VBT.
The second cartel, involving the Prym group and the YKK group, ran from 1999 until at least 2003. During this period the two leading manufacturers of fastening products in Europe fixed prices on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis and allocated customers on a worldwide level with respect to 'other fasteners' and their attaching machines.
The third cartel, involving the YKK group, the Coats group and the Prym group, ran from April 1998 to at least November 1999. During this period, the three leading manufacturers of zip fasteners met on a number of occasions to exchange price information and to discuss price increases. The three undertakings also agreed on a methodology to set minimum prices for zip fasteners in Europe.
The fourth cartel, involving the Prym group and the Coats group, was the longest infringement discovered by the Commission during this investigation and lasted for more than 21 years, from 1977 until at least 1998. During this period, the two companies agreed to share the whole haberdashery market between themselves.
The Commission has evidence that in all four cartels high-ranking management (such as managing directors, sales directors, and board members) participated in regular meetings and discussions. There is also evidence that the companies were aware that their behaviour was illegal.
These practices are very serious infringements of EC Treaty anti-trust rules. The fines take account of the size of the relevant product markets, the duration of the cartels and the size of the firms involved.
It is the Commission's practice to address its decisions to all the legal entities responsible for the illegal behaviour. In line with established case law, if the parent company within a group exercises decisive influence over the commercial behaviour of its subsidiaries, then they both form part of the same economic entity. There is a presumption that a parent company exercises decisive influence over its wholly owned subsidiary. Legal responsibility for the infringement and the related fine can be attributed to both, the subsidiary that actually participated in the cartel and the parent company or companies that exercised decisive influence over the commercial behaviour of that subsidiary at the relevant time.
Fines imposed by the Commission:
Action for damages
Any person or firm affected by anti-competitive behaviour as described in this case may bring the matter before the courts of the Member State and seek damages, submitting elements of the published decision as evidence that the behaviour took place and was illegal even though the Commission has fined the companies concerned, damages may be awarded without these being reduced on account of the Commission fine. A Green Paper on private enforcement has been published (see IP/05/1634 and MEMO/05/489).
For more information on the Commission's action against cartels, see MEMO/07/364.
By decision of 31 March 2011 the Commission amended the fines for the Prym group

A woman is sitting in a lounge chair watching TV while her boyfriend does the ironing. The woman's mother arrives, pulls out a bit of paper, turns off the TV and announces: "Shelley, you're fat ...there I've said it."
"Does your mother talk to you like that?" says the woman to her boyfriend.
"Well," he says, "I'm actually not fat so ..."
"I'm not on drugs," says the woman to her mother.
"More's the pity," says her mother. "Janine's daughter is on the P and she's lost 10 kilos - then again she's lost 10 of her teeth."
Now I have a question and it is this: is this exchange, predicated as it is on the size of the daughter, funny?
Certainly we were invited - as we were all the way through the first episode of the new New Zealand sitcom Golden (TV3, Mondays, 7.30pm) - to laugh at the size of Shelley, who we learned is a former Olympic rower and gold medallist who has gone to seed.
We were supposed to laugh when her boyfriend Eliot pulled faces after discovering Shelley trying on her old and now ill-fitting rowing uniform. We were supposed to laugh when a chair broke under her weight. We were supposed to laugh when she was trying to choose a dress, and at the one-liner "it's been a whale ... a while", and when Shelley sat in her old row boat only for it to sink.
We were also asked to laugh at her mother getting the trots from trying the "maple syrup and cayenne pepper diet" as well as the apparent smallness of Shelley's former trainer (and ex-boyfriend) Paul's willy.
Now far be it for me to say that people who are fat should not be the subject of comedy, just as people who are skinny (like me) should not made fun of, but I mean really, gags about fatties, small knobs and having the runs?! It was like watching Benny Hill by way of Are You Being Served? by way of On the Buses ...
In the end I found Golden, which was given $1.2 million by New Zealand on Air, more of a mystery than a comedy.
For sometime after watching it I sat in my own lounge chair trying to figure out whether it was a deliberately old-fashioned sitcom done without irony or a deliberately old-fashioned sitcom done with irony or whether, like the comedy-within-a-comedy of When the Whistle Blows in Ricky Gervais' Extras, it had begun life as a cutting-edge comedy but had been butchered by the network and its producers. In the end, I figured it didn't really matter: Golden is only funny if you enjoy relentless and relentlessly groan-making cheap shots at someone who is overweight.
Mind you a big part of the mystery is that Shelley is played by Lucy Schmidt, who is a co-writer of Golden too. So I also sat wondering whether if I happened to see Lucy in the street sometime in the future whether she would be okay with me yelling out to her (using a line from the show) "you don't look like Lucy Schmidt, you look like you ate Lucy Schmidt!" and whether she would laugh or punch me in the face. And then I started wondering if it's only okay for fat people to make jokes about fat people but not alright for skinny people to make jokes about fat people ... then I stopped wondering, and retired defeated.
TV3 has put Golden in the 7pm slot on Sundays, a prime piece of property as it's straight after its 6pm news and before 60 Minutes.
This suggests the network thinks Golden is golden. I would beg to differ.

Relieve knee pain quickly with hypnosis
If you have had your knee pain checked out and now just want relief, learning hypnosis may well be your best bet.
People often find that although much knee pain can be cured with minor surgery, they have to wait a long time for the operation. Much can be done to alleviate ongoing pain with hypnosis.
How hypnosis can give relief from knee pain
If you have a damaged knee, the nerves there will generate pain signals - there's not much can be done about that. However, we can alter how the brain responds to these signals.
Thousands of pieces(1) of research have led to the conclusion that hypnosis relieves pain by making the brain 'ignore' the incoming pain signals, so that it does not generate the pain sensations.
Knee pain relief can be achieved quickly and relatively easily using hypnosis without the need for drugs, and once you have learned the techniques, relief is available to you whenever you need it.
