The classy Christmas at the Ritz holiday luncheon Saturday benefiting Chapman University attracted a sold-out crowd, raising nearly $190,000. The 26th annual celebration is produced by the Women of Chapman support group, this season chaired by the lovely Kim Smith.
Since its founding in 1971, the Women of Chapman have donated $1.5 million to the university, including fulfilling a $500,000 pledge specifically earmarked in support of the Dodge College of Film and Media Arts. Presently, the group has set its sights on raising $1 million in support of the coming Musco Center for the Arts slated for completion in 2014.
In the high-spirited holiday crowd were many fashionable standouts, including Adrienne Brandes and husband R.J. Brandes, and Newport luxury real estate top producer Alison McCormick and husband James McCormick.
Social movers and shakers including Donna Bunce, Donna Calvert, Kathy and Noel Hamilton, Barbara Bowie, Sue Hook, Rusty Hood, Sharon McNalley, Shari Esayian, Fritzie Williams, Sandra Brodie, Sandy Beigel Chiles, Joan Riach Gaynor, Charlene Prager, Marion Pickens, Lynn Auer, Nora Jorgensen Johnson, and Catherine Emmi on the arm of husband Jim Emmi. The Emmis were recently honored as Chapman's Citizens of the Year at the star-studded American Celebration.
Chapman's 2012 American Celebration marked another impressive milestone for the respected university. The Nov. 3 extravaganza raised $2.1 million for student scholarships and also was the occasion for an announcement by the Argyros Family Foundation, gifting $8 million in support for the Musco Center for the Arts. The gift will name the center's main concert hall the Julianne Argyros Orchestra Hall.
Honored guests at the 31st annual black-tie evening included Hollywood luminaries Richard Dreyfuss, taking home the Chapman Lifetime Achievement in the Arts Award, and actor Beau Bridges, as well as the Emmis.
The gala — co-chaired by Joann Leatherby and Greg Bates with support from the Brandeses, Zee Allred and Drago Gilgic, Brenda and Mike Carver, Doy and Dee Henley, Kelly and Jim Mazzo and Suki and Randy McCardle, to name only a few — featured another incredible show, titled "We Make Stars," produced by Chapman's William Hall and staff.
The Share Our Wine Foundation's Eighth Annual Auction Orange County attracted some 250 bidders Nov. 17 in the Samueli Theater, raising thousands of dollars for local children's charities. Major recipients included the Festival of Children Foundation, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and Orangewood Children's Foundation.
The wine event has raised more than $1 million in just eight seasons for deserving charities assisting O.C. children.
Last Sunday morning, Tiffany & Co. opened its formidable steel doors at South Coast Plaza for a champagne holiday breakfast. Move over, Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday — Champagne Sunday has them all beat, hands down. The doors opened exactly at 8:30 a.m., welcoming an impressive crowd of robust holiday shoppers who arrived bright and early to examine the seasonal sparkles.
Soon, the crowd sported delicacies catered by Quattro Caffé in one hand and their personal Tiffany blue bags in another. As a fabulous trio provided Christmas favorites, Tiffany Director Michael Botsko pressed the flesh, along with Tiffany executive Jonathan Bruckner, his wife, Anne, and their infant daughter, Ali.
Mrs. Claus was on hand, too, sans the big guy, who was doing what he does best at Christmas — making toys for tots. Amid the shopping frenzy of the season, this event was simply about making the crowd feel special. And it did just that.
THE CROWD runs Fridays. B.W. Cook is editor of the Bay Window, the official publication of the Balboa Bay Club in Newport Beach.

Magazine Milestone – Spotlight WV – October 2012
I've been working on a website promoting my home state of West Virginia for a few years now online. Originally, I created a few social media accounts to get it started and then I realized I had a knack for it, the word spread fast. Now this originally was a part-time blog, but it's taken new heights this past year and as of this month (October), I released the first official issue of the Magazine. Although I designed the magazine, front and back, there are quite a few people involved that helped make it happen. A modest list of writers, proofreaders, artists, photographers and marketing gurus helped me pave the way to having a physical Magazine. It's called Spotlight WV, it's an Arts and Culture Magazine. My intent is for it to be an online magazine until I'm ready to take it to print in stores. However, the site I signed up with to let people view the Magazine online, also offers an option to buy a copy, which is what I did. I'm excited to see where this is going. Thanks Everyone.

For many asthma sufferers, medications don't work well in controlling their symptoms. Washington University School of Medicine researchers want to see if vitamin D supplements can help.
Several studies have linked low vitamin D levels in asthma patients to decreased lung function and increased risk of asthma attacks.
"We are taking the next step -- trying to replace vitamin D in individuals with asthma who have low levels of the vitamin and poorly controlled asthma despite taking a low dose inhaled steroid," said lead researcher Dr. Mario Castro. "The vitamin D deficiency may explain why their medications don't work well."
Some studies show that as much as half the population is deficient in vitamin D. And among children and adults with asthma, Castro said, as many as 30 percent to 40 percent do not fully respond to an inhaled steroid -- the main course of treatment. "Vitamin D deficiency might be contributing to their lack of response," Castro said.
Washington University is one of nine sites across the country participating in the study. Castro said he is seeking about 50 volunteers from the area.
Study participants must be 18 years of age or older, have a physician's diagnosis of asthma and have been taking some type of therapy to control their asthma for at least one year. Volunteers will be screened to determine their vitamin D levels and how well their asthma is controlled.
Participants will receive daily vitamin D supplements in amounts based on the latest recommendations for maintaining normal levels, Castro said. To minimize differences in treatments, all participants will receive at no cost the inhaled steroid ciclesonide, also known as Alvesco. Patients also will be given the same rescue medication, levalbuterol, also known as Xopenex.
Taking part in the study requires using a device at home to monitor lung function, keeping a diary of symptoms and visiting a clinic 11 times for 45 minutes to a few hours. Participants will be paid for their time.

MATERNITY BENEFITS AND THE NEW CHANGES. Maternity relates to a state of being a mother. Maternity leave is given to a woman who is pregnant and is allowed to be absent from work in the weeks before and after she gives birth to a child.In this blog, I shall be discussing about the maternity benefits and the new changes that has been introduced in the present era.INTRODUCTION Today there are plenty of women employees ballooned within the markets in India. It was obvious and the need for maternity benefits became an increasingly common trend which is initiated for the well- being of the mother and her child. It was in 1961, that the Maternity Benefit Act 1961, which aimed at regulating equal benefits for women employees was passed by the then Indian Government. There were several international organizations which recommended a maternity leave for minimum 24 weeks for the welfare of both the mother and the child.THE AMENDMENTThe Maternity Bill is an amendment to the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961. It was passed in the Rajya Sabha on August 11, 2016; on March 09, 2017 in Lok Sabha and finally received an assent from the President of India on March 27, 2017.It is from April 1, 2017 that the provisions of The Maternity Benefit Act, 2017 are effective.The Maternity Benefit Act 1961 had laws to protect the employment of a women during her maternity period and she got entitled to maternity benefit which means full paid absence from work so that she can take care of her child. This Act is applicable to all the establishments employing 10 or more employees. NEED FOR MATERNITY BENEFITS1. The foremost reason for availing maternity benefits is to help a new mother adjust with her new role and to protect the health of the mother along with the well-being of the child.2. Moreover, maternity leave is essential for strengthening families and also helps in inculcating the right values in infants.3. In this competitive world where both the spouse have to work for a decent living, the fact remains unavoidable that this situation has led to more women joining the work field and thus they have to juggle multiple roles in the family.Thus, Maternity leave and other such benefits permit women to play various roles like providing financial support to the family and also allowing them to stay at home in between the formative years of the child. APPLICABILITYThis act is applied to all the women who work in an establishment having 10 or more employees, engaged directly or through a consultant. Dismissal of a pregnant woman is considered unlawful. In case any employer dismisses a female employee on the grounds of pregnancy and is found guilty of doing so shall be punished under section 12 of the Maternity Benefit Act, 2017. DURATION OF LEAVEThis Act increases the length of the paid maternity leaves to 26 weeks from 12 weeks and this period is applied to women nurturing their first or second child. In case a women is expecting her third child or higher will get a paid maternity leave for a period of 12 weeks which is further split in the form of 6 weeks pre- delivery and 6 weeks post-delivery.This act now is even applicable to adoptive mothers and so every such mother is liable to receive 12 weeks of paid maternity leave.To add to the benefits, this act has even introduced a new option which is 'work from home' options for the new mother. Through this, women can opt to work from home as per the requirement after the stipulated time period of 26 weeks. CRECHES FACILITYThis act makes it compulsory for factories and shops which have employed more than 50 women to have within the factory a crèche facility and women employed in the establishment should be permitted to use this facility at least four times in a day. AWARENESSThis act makes it mandatory for the shop owners and employers to create awareness about the benefits and ensures that the eligible women get their rights and all such information must be made accessible to employees either in writing or electronically. MAJOR CHANGES IN THE PRESENT ERA· The duration of paid maternity has been increased now from 12 weeks to 26 weeks.· The accessibility to the paid leave has now been extended to eight weeks before the expected due date instead of the previous six weeks.· This benefit has now been extended to commissioning and adoptive mothers.· 'Work from home' option has been introduced which can be opted after the expiry of the paid leave period for which terms and conditions have to be negotiated by the employer.· It is now compulsory for the establishments having more than 50 employees to have an in-house crèche facility.· Women have permission to use the crèche facility for a maximum of four times a day.· Education of women about their rights to such benefits is now mandatory. SIGNIFICANCEThe paid leave has been extended from 12 weeks to 26 weeks which is a welcome change that goes in line with the commended time for such leave as prescribed by the World Health Organization (WHO). This extension eventually helps in nurturing the healthy development of both the new mother and the infant. Also, as per the latest amendment in accordance with practice suggested by the Maternity Protection Convention, 2000 which further indicates at least 14 weeks of maternity benefits for a new mother. Moreover this change in the present era has helped to improve India's rank concerning benefits provided to mothers. India now ranks third worldwide after Canada and Norway in the number of benefits provided to women. DISADVANTAGES· Many scientists believe that these changes encourages patriarchy as it shifts the responsibility of childbearing towards the mother.· Many firms do not allow women to apply for job vacancies as they will eventually have to extend these privileges to them at the time of childbirth and thus this has an adverse impact to the job opportunities available to women.· In many cases it is found that such provisions lack clarity and thus, making implementation becomes difficult.CONCLUSIONDespite of the fact that the maternity benefits available to women is increasing and is a welcome step, the government needs to make sure that the industries do not lose their competitiveness because of such provisions. In case the government could help in bringing about more uniformity in labo laws involving maternity benefits, it would result in serving women all over India in handling responsibilities entitled to them.

Fast forward to this incredible album, WF Doc covers a wide range of topics.He talked about his African experience, his life here in the U.S.A, and personally experiencing hate from some people. The most important and impressive thing about his music is that it's able to exemplify a person who is very hopeful about the future and determined to succeed.
The song featuring TWISTA is an all time classic that will be played for generations to come. It is very catchy and TWISTA delivers his one-of-a kind, tongue twisting, fast rap that will leave fans in awe.

text: Good morning, For a while now I've been checking if a job is swapping on our clusters using bWatch. The nodes are dual CPU boxes and we run two MPI processes per node. I usually look at the load on the nodes to see if it is above 3.0 (sometimes our code will peak out at about 2.3) and I look at the free swap space number (bWatch just cats the /proc/meminfo file). I usually assume that if the free swap space falls below the maximum and load starts climbing that the node is swapping. However, when I talk to the user, he states that the code is running fine and the timing numbers are where they should be. So, I'm obviously interpreting something incorrectly (unless the job is really swapping but for some reason performance is unaffected). Does someone give me a could way to check if a job is swapping? Maybe a URL? TIA, Jeff

The Grammys: Top 5 wildest moments of the night
5. Frank Ocean's performance of "Forrest Gump" was visually stunning, though his vocals were off-key.
4. Justin Timberlake's much-hyped comeback was a visual feat with home viewers watching a sepia-toned version of a large portion of the performance.
3. In accepting her award for Best Pop Vocal Album, Kelly Clarkson claimed to have no idea who the R&B singer Miguel was, who had just performed moments earlier.
2. While most of the night's wild moments were digitally created, the members of fun. were soaked in real water in a rain simulation at the end of their performance.
1. Bruno Mars kicked off a tribute to Bob Marley with his hot single "Locked Out Of Heaven," and was joined by a bass-wielding Sting. Controversy has surrounded Mars since the single's release -- many claim he lifted the ultra-catchy hook from Sting's band, the Police.

Gestede sparked interest from a number of Premier League clubs after a fine Championship season with Rovers, where he has scored 22 goals in 44 appearances across all competitions.
Norwich will have some competition to sign the 26-year-old, with newly promoted Watford also understood to be in the race for the striker, who still has two years remaining on his current deal at Blackburn.
The potential move comes after Fulham completed the signing of Blackburn midfielder Tom Cairney.
The 24-year-old Scot signed for an initial fee of ??3m on a four-year deal, with the option of a fifth which would extend his stay until 2020.
Cairney was a star performer as Blackburn finished ninth in the Championship, making 45 appearances and scoring three goals.

Fantasy football may cost employers more than $13 billion in lost productivity as millions of Americans who spend the season helming imaginary football teams spend work hours reviewing player statistics and managing their pretend rosters.
Chicago-based outplacement consultancy Challenger, Gray & Christmas, which calculated the estimate, emphasized that it "fully acknowledges the absurdity" of trying to put a firm dollar amount on lost work output resulting from the virtual competition.
"We are not trying to demonize fantasy football," CEO John A. Challenger said in a statement. "It is important to understand that there are more distractions than ever in today's workplace. If it's not fantasy football, it's the latest Hollywood gossip, shopping on Amazon, or checking Facebook."
But with fantasy football dominating water cooler conversations and possibly even slowing down a company's Internet speed as bandwidth goes to researching players, it's a "massively popular phenomenon that cannot be ignored," he said.
The firm came to its figure using average hourly earnings of workers on private nonfarm payrolls ($24.45) and the estimated number of employed fantasy sports participants (18.3 million, assuming a 59 percent employment rate among the 31 million working-age Americans who participate in fantasy sports). Assuming, conservatively, that each employed participant spends two hours a week on fantasy sports while on the job, it works out to $13.4 billion over the course of the 15-week fantasy football schedule.
With the economy still chugging along, and no chance that any measurable dip in GDP in the third or fourth quarter would be the fault of fantasy football ($13.4 billion is less than 1 percent of the $1.5 trillion in wages paid out during the same period), Challenger said companies shouldn't crack down on the practice but instead recruit employees into company-wide leagues to build camaraderie and morale.
"An across-the-board ban on all fantasy football or sports websites is likely to backfire and cause a drop in morale, loyalty and, ironically, productivity," Challenger said. "The end result could be far worse than any loss of productivity caused by an hour or two of team management each week."

We're very proud of running a tough race, a fair race, a positive race and a close race. —Mike Winder
SALT LAKE CITY — The text messages started pouring in about 4:30 p.m.
"It just about overloaded my phone," Mark Crockett joked later.
Crockett was still on his way to the Salt Lake County Government Center from a work meeting in Park City on Tuesday when County Clerk Sherrie Swensen declared him the winner of the Republican primary in the race for county mayor.
Crockett will face Democrat Ben McAdams in the general election Nov. 6.
The announcement followed two weeks of waiting while county elections officials counted and verified vote-by-mail and provisional ballots in the GOP primary between Crockett and West Valley City Mayor Mike Winder.
On primary election night June 26, Crockett led Winder by just 239 votes with nearly 8,000 ballots yet to be considered. In the end, 7,650 of those votes were deemed valid, giving Crockett a 1,019-vote victory over Winder, 38,387 to 37,368.
"Mike ran an amazingly good race," Crockett said moments after receiving a congratulatory handshake and hug from Winder. "That said, it did look like we were picking up speed every week. We just didn't know if we were going to have enough time to make it across the goal line. … I'm glad we had just enough days to come out ahead here."
Winder supporters who attended the Salt Lake County Board of Canvassers meeting put on Crockett campaign shirts when the winner was announced. It was a show of party support for Crockett, one Winder echoed by endorsing his fellow Republican in the race against McAdams.
"We're very proud of running a tough race, a fair race, a positive race and a close race," Winder said.
Crockett started the race as something of a dark horse, having been out of politics since 2008, when he failed to win a second term on the Salt Lake County Council.
He emerged as a serious candidate at the GOP county convention in April, earning 58 percent of delegates' votes in the second round of balloting — just 2 percent shy of avoiding a primary.
Crockett said he believes Republican voters saw him as the candidate most qualified to get the county budget under control. For the past 20-plus years of his professional career, Crockett has helped large businesses improve management and cut costs.
He sees the county as another organization that needs fixing.
"I think people like the message that you can have more confidence in where your taxpayer dollars are being spent, that it's not going to cost more and that we can make human services a lot more effective than they've been in the past," he said.
Crockett also acknowledged the role "Richard Burwash" played in the GOP election. Burwash is the fictional name Winder admitted in November 2011 that he created and used to write stories about West Valley City for local media outlets, including the Deseret News and KSL.com.
"I have no doubt it played a role," Crockett said. "On the flip-side, though, Mike Winder got virtually 50 percent of the votes. That has to say a lot about people's belief in him and what we might want to believe about his future in the state. So I wouldn't write him off anytime soon."
Winder, too, conceded that the Burwash issue was a campaign hurdle he wasn't quite able to overcome.
"I made a mistake there. I apologized," he said. "We can beat ourselves up all day on would've, could've, should've, and should we have done this or that differently, but I'm deeply humbled today with the enormous support we had, and congratulatory of Mark Crockett."
Winder's term as West Valley City mayor runs through 2013. He said he will be evaluating his political future in the coming months, including whether to run for a second term.
"Asking someone after hearing election results if they're going to run again is like asking a woman if she's going to have another child after she gives birth," Winder said. "We'll wait to make any definitive statements until later."
McAdams, who represents Salt Lake City, South Salt Lake and West Valley City in the Utah State Senate, issued a statement Tuesday congratulating Crockett for securing the Republican nomination.
"I look forward to an honest, positive campaign in order to provide residents with a clear vision of the direction I will lead Salt Lake County over the next four years," he said.
Crockett said he believes independent voters will decide the Salt Lake County mayoral race.
"We should have good turnout in both parties this year," he said. "That should mean, if we run a good, credible race, that we come out a few points ahead."

10/26/18: Afternoon buses may be delayed due to a road closure on I-75.
A Message from the Director
Hungry children cannot learn. That is why Child Nutrition plays a key role in educating all of Lakota's students. I am committed to making sure every student has the proper nutrition so they can learn and achieve to their fullest potential.
Providing nutritious meals to our students is our commitment. We understand that well-nourished children are better equipped to learn. Providing healthy food and nutrition education are the key ingredients in educating students to make choices that will develop into life-long healthy eating habits.
I would be remiss if I did not mention that the true stars in this process are the Child Nutrition Staff who have the complex task of serving the over 17,000 students daily. Their efforts are never sufficiently recognized.
With the passage of the Healthy, Hunger Free Kids Act, Food Service operations all across the country have had to change their menus to be in compliance. Lakota is no exception.
There are requirements for serving vegetable subgroups: Dark green, red/orange, beans/peas, starchy and other. That is why you may see sweet potatoes, beans or romaine and spinach salad on our menus. There are also calorie minimums or maximums for each grade group so you will see different portion sizes will be served at each grade segment. Whole grains are mandated as well as fat free milk and protein amounts.
One of the biggest changes is the mandate that students must take either a fruit or a vegetable with his/her meal.
As you can see we have made a lot of changes to the menu. As we try new items, new recipes and our new menus, we will make changes as needed. If your son or daughter likes an item please have him/her tell the cafeteria staff. Their choices and voice drive what we place on the menu.
Thank you for your business.
Please visit our website often to keep updated on new and exciting changes.
If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Our Breakfast & Lunch Programs
The mission of the Child Nutrition Department is to provide nutritious and appetizing meals and quality service at reasonable prices to every student, every school day. We realize that learning starts before our students walk into the classroom. All students must have the right tools in order to achieve to their fullest potential and having the right tools begins with a well-balanced breakfast and lunch everyday.
The Lakota Local School District's Child Nutrition Department serves approximately 16,500 students at 22 different sites. Unlike some larger districts, all of our schools have full cooking kitchens. This allows us the flexibility to meet the needs of our students and the Lakota community.
We are a unique department in the school system because we are self-supporting. In other words, we receive no funds from the school district. We pay all operating expenses, payroll, benefits, utilities, administrative costs, food and supply costs, equipment and repair costs, technology costs, depreciation, etc.
Our breakfast and lunch programs are operated under the direction of the United States Department of Agriculture, Ohio Department of Education as well as the Butler County Health Department.

Savage 2: A Tortured Soul
What do you need help on? Cancel X
From the same core team that conceptualized and created Savage, Savage 2: A Tortured Soul transports PC gamers to the next level in multiplayer gaming. The sequel features enhanced character models, higher quality animations, bump mapping, realistic, reflective water effects, dynamic shadows, point lighting, and an enhanced particle/spell effect system. Gameplay is greatly superior as well due to a vastly improved melee system, an enhanced, officer-based battle grouping system, 20 unit class based system, FPS fast action paced gameplay for certain types of characters, third person RPG slower paced gameplay for others, better items with more RPG elements, and an improved spell casting system. The game also features a comprehensive single-player tutorial/training - something that many Savage fans requested and S2 Games feels is necessary in order to shorten the learning curve of a detailed game such as this.

Published February 20, 2014
When asked about life after UB, Howard Wolf, emeritus professor and senior fellow in the Department of English, turns to one of his heroes, Ralph Waldo Emerson, to make his point.
According to Emerson, "The man is only half himself, the other half is his expression."
"This always has been the case for me. For me, writing — and teaching — is what connects 'me' to 'others,'" says Wolf, who retired from the full-time UB faculty in 2007 after a 40-year career as an English professor at the university. "As E.M. Forster says famously in "Howard's End" (no relation),
'Only connect!'"
Over the course of an incredibly prolific career, Wolf has worked in almost every genre, including literary and cultural criticism, autobiography, short fiction, travel writing, the novel ("Broadway Serenade," 1996), poetry and plays. Among his major works are "Forgive the Father: A Memoir of Changing Generations" (1978), "Far-Away Places: Lessons in Exile" (2007), "A Version of Home: Letters from the World: An Autobiographical Journey through Singapore, Malaysia, India, Greece and Turkey" (1992) and "The Education of a Teacher." (1987).
A graduate of the Horace Mann School, Columbia University (MA) and the University of Michigan (PhD), where he won a Hopwood Award for Fiction, Wolf says he has had work published every year since 1965 — a total of 300 publications, including 10 books.
And, he promises, "More work is in the pipeline."
At a time in life when many retired people are spending their days on the golf course or relaxing with the grandchildren, Wolf continues to teach, write and lecture, both in the U.S. and abroad.
Since formally retiring from UB, he taught for three years as an adjunct in the UB English department, and has taught a course on travel writing for the past three years as part of UB's Discovery Seminars program.
He's lectured at meetings of the F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway societies, at colleges and universities, and at local high schools.
But his focus these days is on writing.
"I always have been a teacher and writer, or writer and teacher — the emphasis varied from year to year — so when I retired from full-time teaching, I naturally put more emphasis on writing," he says.
Wolf attributes his interest in travel writing to his experiences teaching overseas on U.S. state department lecture tours, as well as stints as a Fulbright lecturer in Turkey (1983-83) and South Africa (1998), and a three-year run (1991-94) as a lecturer in American literature at the University of Hong Kong. He also taught in UB's Malaysia program.
All told, he says he's given about 100 lectures in 20 countries, among them India, Thailand, China, Korea, Japan, Germany, Greece, Taiwan, Israel, Finland, England, Slovakia and Singapore. He returned to Ankara in 2000 to deliver the keynote speech at a celebration marking the 40th year of the Fulbright program in Turkey. These travel and teaching experiences, he says, are the subject of "Far-Away Places: Lessons in Exile."
"If one writes steadily over time, for reasons that are a little mysterious, different subjects and different forms — often they are related — demand attention," he says in explaining the wide range of his work. "Short fiction and 'generational memoirs' have been a constant interest, but I've also written one novel, innumerable letters, op-ed pieces, critical essays, radio scripts and now one-act plays" — a staged reading of one of his plays, "Reunion of a Summer Evening," took place last May at the UB Newman Center.
A graduate of Amherst College — he received his BA in 1958 — he's been sending literary material to the college's Archives and Special Collections since 1971. The collection features literary manuscripts, as well as personal and professional correspondence, including writings by colleagues and students he mentored and an assortment of "cultural miscellany" — concert programs, clippings, calendars, tourism brochures and artwork. Correspondence includes letters from many colleagues and fellow writers from America and from around the world.
His collection was the subject of an exhibition, "Collecting a Collector: The Howard R. Wolf Papers," at the Robert Frost Library at Amherst College last summer, and was the focus of a session during Amherst's 2013 reunion program. Wolf, who was attending his 55th reunion, spoke at the session.
Upcoming activities include a May trip to Cambridge University, where he will give an invited lecture at Wolfson College. In his talk, "The Role of Creative Nonfiction in the American Literary Curriculum," he will reflect on his many decades teaching literary journalism at UB, and his more recent teaching of travel writing in the Discovery Seminars.
Wolf edited "Far-Away Places" while serving as a senior academic visitor at Wolfson in 2007; he is now a life member of the college.
He's currently working on three books: "Home at the End of the Day," a collection of one-act plays; "Exiles by Starlight," a collection of short stories; and "Stone Harvest: A Writer's Garden," a collection of personal essays.
When asked for his advice to colleagues contemplating retirement, he suggests they plan what they will do for at least a year —"unless you're passionate about leisure" —and that those interested in continuing academic or creative work "locate what in your current set of commitments can be extended and even expanded; commit yourself to at least one conference a year where you will be a presenter."
"This," he says, "will give one's work a 'social' reality that will make up for the absence of the 'classroom.'
"Why am I still working so hard?" he asks, repeating a question from the UB Reporter. "I'm not sure I regard it as 'work.'"
He's grateful he was a member of the UB English department which, he says, always encouraged creativity and where he was surrounded by fellow writers.
For Wolf, "writing is a form of living."
And as a character in "The Ambassadors," a novel by another Wolf hero, Henry James, says, "Live all you can."

Will Tim McGraw Join 'A Star Is Born' Remake?
Clint Eastwood is famous in Hollywood for being a fast, no-nonsense director who brings his films in on time and under budget, but his next project — a remake of 'A Star Is Born' — is having trouble just getting started.
Eastwood initially cast Beyoncé in the lead, but her pregnancy seems likely to keep her from making the planned February 2012 start date, and his preferred leading man, Leonardo DiCaprio, has reportedly turned down the role. According to CMT's sources, DiCaprio's loss could end up being Tim McGraw's gain.
With Eastwood's casting directors on the hunt for a new male lead, CMT says McGraw is being considered for the part played by Kris Kristofferson in the 1976 version of the film. It wouldn't be McGraw's first trip in front of the cameras — he's appeared in films such as 'The Blind Side' and 'Country Strong' — but it'd be his most high-profile role.
McGraw's next album, 'Emotional Traffic,' is still waiting for a spot on the Curb Records release schedule. His most recent single, the 'Country Strong' duet 'Me and Tennessee,' added another top 40 hit to his impressive tally.

Such a beautiful and inspirational song, and a wonderful winner for our tournament! Enjoy this special version by Nat King Cole, and look forward to new inspiring songs each week! Happy holidays!
O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, the night when Christ was born;
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming,
Now come the wisemen from out of the Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our friends.
He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger,
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
With all our hearts we praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we,
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
His power and glory ever more proclaim!

We're the Dark Horses: Talking with Switchfoot
Getting Religious with Guster
I realize that some will argue that this week's edition of Inspirational Song of the Week isn't inspirational. To me, inspiration isn't always about gung-ho excitement, I believe that we can be inspired to think, to reflect, and to care for those around us. This song and video hinges on the simple reminders that everyone goes through strife, and things will always get better.
When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes
Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on
'Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone
If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on
Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts. You are not alone
Josh Groban is one of the top selling adult contemporary artists of the 2000s. This inspiring song was his breakthrough hit.
When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up… To more than I can be.
There is no life – no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

As the weather gets warmer, the road-ragers are hitting midseason form, based on recent police reports.
On Memorial Day at about 1 p.m., Howard Chesin of Amagansett was driving a 2004 Toyota Highlander at the 30-mile-per-hour speed limit on Town Lane in that hamlet when a black pickup truck came roaring up behind him.
After riding the Toyota's tail, the driver of the truck pulled out and whipped around the S.U.V., slammed on his brakes, and got out. Fearing a confrontation, Mr. Chasin tried to go around the enraged man, who punched the passenger-side mirror of Mr. Chasin's vehicle, breaking it. He then got back into his truck, did a U-turn, and drove away, turning onto Windmill Lane.
Two eyewitnesses corroborated Mr. Chasin's account to East Hampton Town police.
In Sag Harbor, police received an unusual road-rage call on Sunday involving a black Hummer and a car. When the two vehicles came to a stop at a crosswalk on Long Island Avenue, the driver of the Hummer hurled something at the other car and sped away.
The driver got out to inspect the damage and discovered that the car had been hit with a carrot cake.

Theme: On a Roller Coaster — Hard to explain. Just look at the theme answers. You'll get it.
Theme answers:
- 17A: What older baseball pitchers might do? (WIND DOWN WINDUPS).
- 23A: Fetch Halloween costumes from the attic? (GET DOWN GETUPS).
- 53A: Post snide comments on a blog? (PUT UP PUTDOWNS).
- 64A: Join the high school wrestling team? (TAKE UP TAKEDOWNS).
I noticed a lot of clues in quotation marks today, so I thought we should talk about that. When a clue is in quotation marks it's — obviously — meant to be something a person might say. So the answer will always be something else a person might say to convey the same idea.
- 39A: "Can I get a word in?" ("AHEM"). Someone saying "Can I get a word in?" is probably impatient, but IMPATIENT won't work as an answer here because it's just totally the wrong part of speech. Instead, think of something else a person might say who's trying to break in to a conversation. Tada! "AHEM."
- 73A: "Go for it!" ("YES!"). When you see "Go for it!" you probably think of encouragement, but EGG ON (although it's a phrase frequently seen in crosswords) doesn't work here. Instead, what is something else a person might say who's been asked "Should I do it?"
- 32D: "Ew!" ("ICK!"). Again, two things a person might say that convey the same meaning.
- 7D: "Don't remind me" ("I KNOW"). You're totally getting the hang of this by now, right?
- 9A: Latish wake-up time (TEN A.M.). We talked recently about how if the answer is (or contains) an abbreviation, the clue will typically give you a hint about that by containing an abbreviation itself. But remember that we also talked about exceptions to that "rule." This is one of them. A.M. is, indeed, an abbreviation, but it's so commonly used that it's more like its own word and, therefore, doesn't need an abbreviation cue in the clue.
- 27A: Mice and lice (VERMIN). "Ew!" ("ICK!").
- 3D: Scratch (LONG GREEN). I assume these are both slang terms for money, although I don't think I've ever heard the term LONG GREEN. Unless this is something totally different. Help me out here.
- 5D: HTC smartphone (EVO). This is the phone featured in the hilarious, strange, and wildly inappropriate video that went viral about a year ago. [Warning: Don't click the link if you are offended by bad language. Seriously! F-bombs everywhere!]
- 11D: Tiny Pacific republic (NAURU). This island makes an appearance in puzzles fairly regularly, but that didn't help me today. Needed all the crosses.
- 33D: Mary Bobbsey's older daughter (NAN). What's the other Bobbsey twin's name? I never read the books, and I only know NAN from puzzles.
- 36D: Keeps at it (PLUGS AWAY). Awesome colloquial phrase here.

Objective: increase the capacity of incident detection, event
correlation and trend analysis in the Brazilian Internet space.
Honeypots deployed: 55 honeypots, deployed in partnership with 43
Brazilian organizations, including: energy sector, government,
telecommunications, ISPs and Universities. In 2013 we had 9
organizations joining the Project, 5 of them from the energy sector.
Tools: OpenBSD systems running honeyd, several honeyd listeners, plus
some code developed in-house.
Results: The analysis of the data collected is made available to the
public via flows and trend analysis graphics available at:
Objective: gather data related to the abuse of the Internet
infrastructure by spammers.
Honeypots deployed: 14 honeypots, deployed in 11 countries, mostly in
partnership with local CERTs. In 2013 we started a spam data analysis
research partnership with the University of Alabama at Birmingham,
hosting one honeypot, and a partnership with Shadowserver Foundation,
that is hosting 2 honeypots, one in the US and another in Norway.
Tools: OpenBSD systems running code developed in-house. In 2013 we
concentrated on developing better data visualization for the partners
private area.
Details about the data analysis research are in the next section,
published as articles, papers and master thesis.
We are cooperating in the SpamPots Project with David Watson, from the
UK Chapter, and with Shadowserver. They are mirroring all data
collected and using this data to identify the spammers origins and to
improve their blacklists. David Watson is also porting the code to
Linux and working on a massive deployment for Shadowserver.
We are donating data to National CERTs, some of them with honeynet
Chapters, so they can act on the attack data collected to stop the
attacks and identify infected machines.

Title: An Analysis of Spam Traffic Collected Around the World (Original Title
in Portuguese: Análise do Tráfego de Spam Coletado ao Redor do Mundo)
Abstract: Several efforts have been pursued to create a comprehensive view of
spam traffic. However, observations at isolated points of the Internet
are always limited by factors of spatial locality. This dissertation
aims to add a dimension to this analysis by contrasting samples of
spam traffic collected simultaneously at different points.
Furthermore, this study aims to evaluate the time factor in the spam
traffic, and the impacts caused by it.
Our analyses indicate that factors such as location and connectivity
have significant impact on the observed traffic, but certain features,
such as profiles of messages sent by different protocols, source
addresses and test patterns from spammers repeat themselves around the
world. We also identified that the spam traffic varies considerably
over time, with different patterns in different times.

Abstract:In the past few years we have seen a steady increase in the popularity
of VoIP (Voice over IP) services. Scans for SIP (Session Initiation
Protocol) servers have been reported for many years, and to gather
more details about these activities we emulated SIP servers in a
network of 50 low-interaction honeypots, and collected data about
these attacks for 358 days. What will follow is a description of our

Regarding abuse of the Internet infrastructure to send spam we are
continuously seeing the abuse of SOCKs proxies, a behavior that hasn't
changed since we started the project in 2006.
2013: we reached our goal to focus more on data analysis and
visualization of attacks and trends. Our staff got trained in data
visualization, and we concluded the work for the SpamPots Partners'
website data visualization.
2014: revamp our project's websites, and start the implementation of
new visualization techniques for the public data on both of them.

Singer Patti Page Dead At 85 On New Years Day
Pop singer Patti Page, the biggest-selling female artist of the 1950s, has died. The singer passed away on New Year's Day in Encinitas, California. She was 85.
Page, whose birth name was Clara Ann Fowler, scored an incredible 111 chart hits over her long career, including "How Much Is That) Doggie in the Window" and "Tennessee Waltz." She released 50 albums, and scored 14 platinum singles. In addition, she was a popular TV performer, and appeared in movies like Elmer Gantry and Boys' Night Out.
Because her songs often crossed over to the country charts, Page received the Pioneer Award from the Academy of Country Music. The Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame gave her its Living Legend Award, and she received a Grammy Award in 1999. This year, she was to receive a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and according to her rep, she was looking forward to attending the ceremony on February 9.
In addition to the worlds of pop and country music, Page's influence even extended to the world of alternative rock: The White Stripes recorded her 1950s hit "Conquest" on their album Icky Thump.
Page is survived by her son and daughter, as well as her sister, Peggy Layton.

Adjusting kids' sleep schedules for school
Lazy days and late nights. That's what make summer vacation so special to kids and parents as they enjoy a less rigid schedule.
However, as summer vacation slips away, it's time for school routines to creep back into daily lives. That includes getting a solid night of sleep to be sharp at school and less groggy in the morning.
If your child's bedtime has slid back, here are some tips to get everyone on track in time for school, according to Laura Marcinczyk, a nurse practitioner with Sentara Pediatric Physicians.
Adjust bedtime by 15 minutes each night.
One to three weeks before school starts, gradually adjust kids' sleep schedules. Change the time kids go to bed by 15 minutes and the time they wake up by 15 minutes every one to two days until you reach appropriate sleep and awake times for school. If your children are two to three hours off their normal schedule, it's wise to begin sooner.
Be patient.
Plan on a gradual adjustment of sleep schedules, rather than going cold turkey. Even with that, kids may still be cranky returning to a firmer schedule. Be prepared for some less cooperative behavior the first few weeks. Consider limiting after school activities at the beginning of the school year to allow time for children to adjust to more demanding schedules.
Say "No" to the screen. Read or chat instead.
Screen time before bed interrupts sleep, rather than promoting it. The brightness of the screen confuses the brain and disrupts the sleep cycle.
"Small screens, such as phones and iPads can reduce sleep by 20 minutes a night and keep the mind active, which is not conducive to the sleep cycle," Marcinczyk says.
Instead, read to your children or have them read a book themselves if they are old enough. Talk with them about what they did that day and plan to do tomorrow. Discuss family plans and events to look forward to.
Engage kids in planning for the next day.
"I always recommend working with kids as a team while fostering autonomy and independence," Marcinczyk says.
That can include setting clothing out for the morning and packing homework and necessary forms that need to be returned.
Children can pack their lunch with their parents. This can also be a time to discuss healthy food choices. Parents and children can even discuss breakfast options for the next day.
A good night's sleep and preparing for the day ahead will benefit everyone in the household. So start your back-to-school bedtime routine today!

The OC energycomplete can not be sprayed with any paint sprayer. Its a 2 part foam 4to 1 it needs 2 pumps one is bigger then other in order to get correct ration. It also has a special gun. The Knauf Ecoseal you can use a paint sprayer they do recommend specific sprayers since the psi has to be quite high.
Knauf has a competing product called EcoSeal - http://bit.ly/lWYOZT
I know a contractor who just started using this. It goes on with an airless sprayer. The homes he has installed it in haven't even been completed yet. I will get more info from him re pricing, etc.
Hey Silas,
thanks for the link. Please keep me advised as more information from that contractor develops.
The product looks interesting.
I am also a certified installer of the energy Complete System based out of St. Louis. Like many other s have said this system i great for minimizing the unwanted air flow into a home and through the insulation itself.
Very recently Owens Corning has released a new tip for the systems spray gun that reduces wasted product by 50%. The new BEADED EXTRUSION tip allows the product to go only where it is intended to both air seal and still create the same air gasket effect as with the previous three inch band.
Owens Corning has been great with continuing to develop the system.
I spoke with a builder who has tried both the Owens product and the Knauf product.
They quit using Owen. It sprays on and bubbles up a little. He couldnt get a good surface for the drywall to sit on. I cant remember all the particulars but he was not satisfied. It is not recommended for use with cellulose.
The builder switched to the Knauf and his mock up showed very neat crisp lines. along double studs or top plates they we tooled smooth with the face of the wood so the drywall would sit flush.
Both Owens and Knauf have videos on their sites.
I can agree that the Owens Corning product can easily be applied too thick and create a problem for the drywallers but that problem is all in the installer not with the product. Form personal experience it takes a few tries to get good at the application. We actually used it to air seal a retrofit attic twice in order to practice getting the correct thickness. Once we had that down we have not had any complaints from new construction jobs.
Did you happen to perform a blower door on the retrofit application? How did it stick in a dusty attic? This is what I am most interested in. I am wondering how it performs in retro environment. I can get the Knauf Eco-Seal at a reasonable price and already have spray equipment that is sufficient. I want to start using it to air seal attics in retro. Two part foam is just too expensive for air sealing. I can my material costs on half on a full attic air seal.
the EC foam is not the ideal product to use in Retro fit attics... we used it a few times for the simple reason of we needed to learn the operation and application of the product before it really mattered. In an attic covered with insulation it did not matter nearly as much how pretty the application was. the best thing that i have found to air seal and attic is simple canned spray foam. It is light weight, portable and much less expensive to use than any machine.
I wonder about adhesion-and life cycle-as well; that is compared to the "foam".
Chemically, urethanes perform much better in terms of adhesion and movement; and therefore, have a longer life compared to latex.

Petite teen Megan Rain is becoming a legend in porn for her ability to take the biggest dicks in the business. Her secret is her can-do attitude: "If you think you can, you can." Megan's confidence extends to every part of her porn career. She got her start in 2014 after a friend suggested she would be great in porn. Megan knew she didn't have the big boobs and booty of a typical porn starlet, but this spinner believed her tiny body was more than up to the challenge, so she applied. This raven-haired stunner immediately started getting booked for hot teen jobs, but Megan would never be satisfied confined to only one type of role. Megan was soon pushing her limits with harder, edgier scenes, stretching her tight pussy and ass around massive cocks and loving every minute! Once again, Megan proved she could do anything she put her mind to, and she's been rewarded with multiple AVN nominations, including Female Performer of the Year in 2017. Megan is definitely the Little Pornstar that Could, and she's just getting started!

Protect Bears Ears National Monument
Secretary Zinke,
Bears Ears National Monument is a valuable addition to our country's wonderful natural heritage. It, along with the other parks, forests, monuments and other public lands we love, deserves our protection.
Yet some short-sighted members of Congress are urging President Trump and yourself to revoke Bears Ears' national monument designation under the Antiquities Act -- the very act that Teddy Roosevelt enacted to protect our natural heritage.
I urge you to support and defend the Bears Ears National Monument designation.

Is $100 bottle of wine irresponsible?
Advice dispensed on budgeting for 'fun,' term life insurance needs
Dear Dave,
My husband and I are debt-free except for our house. I've been having a discussion with a coworker over how much money to allow for fun in your budget. I think $100 for a bottle of wine is OK, but she says something like that is unreasonable. What do you think?
Dear Elizabeth,
It depends entirely on your financial situation. Paying $100 for a bottle of wine is pretty dumb if you make only $20,000 a year. But what if you make $200,000 a year? Quit worrying and buy the wine! When you have a great income-to-asset ratio – and you're living debt-free, have control of your money, and are saving and investing for the future – that's the time to relax and enjoy a few things.
You've got to take the whole picture into account. Otherwise, you'll get caught up in the whole envy and jealousy thing. I know a guy who makes $15 million a year, and recently he bought a $400,000 car. Now, I grew up in a small town in Tennessee. I can't wrap my head around the idea of a $400,000 automobile. But as a ratio, that's a very small part of his income. It would be like someone who makes $150,000 a year buying a $4,000 car.
That's a good rule of thumb for determining if something constitutes an outrageous purchase. If it's a big-enough percentage of your income to rock your world and mess with your finances, then you're spending too much. But to say that a certain item is too expensive or an irresponsible purchase based on price alone, that's kind of silly.
Love Dave Ramsey's no-nonsense financial answers? Order his book "The Money Answer Book," which addresses 100-plus popular questions
How much term do I need?
Dear Dave,
Should term life insurance be purchased based on your current earnings or future, projected earnings?
Dear Dan,
I usually recommend people have 10 to 12 times their current annual income in a good, level term life insurance policy. However, if you have a solid reason to project your income jumping significantly in the near future, there's nothing wrong with basing your amount of life insurance coverage on that figure – as long as you can afford it.
Now, when I say a solid reason, I'm not talking about having an attitude of, "I'm smart. So, I'm going to make tons more money soon." That's ego, not reason. But if you're in a residency finishing your medical degree, you can realistically look at making $40,000 to $50,000 for another year or two then making the jump to $200,000. That's the kind of logical thinking and planning I'm talking about. In that scenario, a huge jump in income is almost assured. There's nothing wrong with going ahead and getting more coverage.
The purpose of life insurance is to take care of your family if something unexpected should happen to you. You don't want to go nuts and buy too much unnecessarily, but you should have enough to ensure that they're well taken care of when you're not around.

400 meter dash prelims
DELAWARE, Ohio – On the second day of the 2014 NCAA Division III Outdoor National Championship, junior high jumper Carl Joseph (Brockton, Mass.) made history by becoming the first three-time All-American in UMass Boston men's track and field history. The Brockton native finished in fourth place in the event with a jump of 6-10.25 feet Friday afternoon at Ohio Wesleyan University.
Not only does Joseph become the first-ever three-time All-American in track and field history, but he also stands as the only three-time male All-American in the history of UMass Boston. The fourth place finish ties a career best finish for Joseph, while his height of 6-10.25 feet marks a new career best at the National championship.
Also in action on Friday, was Hulerie McGuffie (Lynn, Mass.) who secured a spot in the 400 meter dash in tomorrow's championship. Already set to compete in the 4x100 meter relay, McGuffie won her heat in the 400 with a time of 55.76 seconds, which was the second fastest qualifying time.
McGuffie will look to win her first individual national title tomorrow at 2:30 p.m., when she competes against a very deep field of sprinters.
Senior Renee O'Brien (Stoneham, Mass.) closed out her collegiate career as a high jumper on Friday. As the Beacons first field competitor at national's in over 30 years, O'Brien recorded a height of 5-03.00 feet. She ends her solo career as the top high jumper in program history with her mark of 5-06.00 feet, which she set earlier this year.
Tomorrow's final in the 4x100 meter dash is scheduled to begin at 1:40 p.m., while the 400 meter dash is set for a 2:55 p.m. start.

Our target audience will be 650 private invitation only Members of the Club and we want them to be able to wear logoed hats or shirts in public without necessarily needing to have the name of the club shown…..just the mark. Should make those not in the know really ask "what does that stand for?"
What we are looking for is a unique, creative and clean "mark". We are not currently married to any one color-story and are open to suggestions. Initially this "mark" can be connected directly to the logo OR be separate. We would like to use it on stationary, the website and all initial Member apparel. Eventually we may use it on some subtle signage throughout the property. Down the road we may create a smart phone App for our Members to use to pre-schedule tee times, work out times, etc. Prefer this mark to be simplistic and very memorable. Be creative!
