Samatar says tensions within the district are escalating between Somali and African American students. Students say they don't feel safe, respected or assimilated at South High, and no one is listening.
"Nobody understands what we are talking about," said Kosar Mohamed, a junior who fought tears as she spoke in front of the podium. "It's the fact we go somewhere for education, but we don't feel safe. The fact that we are supposed to go there to feel safe and a safe environment where everyone understands what we are doing or help us achieve a greater success. I'm a first generation child and my parents came here to give me a better life."
Her fellow Somali students say the lunchroom fight involving hundreds of students last week was years in the making. Moving forward, they are asking for Somali-speaking teachers, more security and advanced classes for more educational opportunities. Samatar emphasized they are the new African American community, struggling to become recognized among peers and staff.
He says the number of Somali students in the school has increased to about 8 percent of the school population, but the staff does not reflect that, with not one Somali speaking teacher in the school.
"We have reached out to the traditional African American community for a long time. There is no way, no how we would be running the amount of businesses and opportunities without the African American community coming before us and giving their ultimate price of being in the United States. We get it, but they may not get it, so we have to find ways to do so," said Samatar. "We went through a civil war that has decimated our community and people are still going through it, so people need to have empathy and sympathy. "
Minneapolis School CEO Rick Mills came to listen to their concerns, and also offered a response to angry parents. Mills said while this fight is still under investigation, and specifics cannot be discussed, the district has launched a number of listening sessions with students in school and will also soon launch conversation with parents about these cultural issues, as well as explore more diversity training for staff.
Students in the group, S.T.A.R.T (Students Together as Allies for Racial Trust) says they will start their own dialogue about racial tensions within the school on Wednesday, when they will hold a private dinner for students in South High's media center.

YORK, Pa. – The York College women's lacrosse team fought to the very end Tuesday afternoon in a non-conference contest with #6 Franklin & Marshall College Diplomats. The Spartans lost 7-6 as they fell to an overall record of 4-1 and 1-0 in the conference. The Diplomats victory improves them to an overall record of 2-0.
To start the game the Diplomats were quite composed producing two fairly quick goals in the beginning of the match. Kara Stanley scored the first goal of the game with only 1:40 time coming off the clock.. Lauren Ehrhardt scored three minutes later after the Stanley goal to give F&M a 2-0 lead.
Once the Green and White settled down, goalie Kelsey Evans and defender Katie Vautier led a Spartan defense that began to tighten the clamps. The Spartans held the Diplomats scoreless for nearly 20 minutes. The confidence started to build for the York squad and with 6:53 remaining in the first period Erica Mulford capitalized on a free position shot to break the ice for the Spartans.
After their scoreless 20 minutes, the Diplomats third goal came from Ehrhardt with 4:46 remaining to extend their lead to 3-1.
With 2:31 left in the first period, Leah Schultz provided a much-needed spark by scoring her eighth of the season. The goal brought the game to a one point deficit for the Spartans going into the half 3-2.
With the clock winding down in the first stanza, F&M looked to go up 4-2 heading into the break. However, Vautier had different ideas. The Diplomats attempted to send a pass from the top of the area inside the arc for a quick last second score. However, Vautier got her stick to the pass knocking it away and securing the ensuing ground ball, giving the Green and White significant momentum.
Following halftime. York received a goal scored from Kerri Nicolich with 26:49 remaining in the second period that was assisted by Kim Wayson.
After another two quick goals from F&M to extend their lead to 5-3 Mulford and Wayson both contributed unassisted goals to deadlock the score at 5-5.
The Spartans continued to battle late in the game but surrendered two goals in the last seven minutes, as F&M led 7-5.
Despite being down two goals, York gave F&M a bit of a scare late in the contest. An exciting last few minutes put the fans on the edge of their seats. As 17 seconds remained on the clock, Wayson was awarded a free position shot. The junior attack then connected with the back of the net to bring the Green and White within one.
The Spartans comeback bid however, was halted as the last draw control went to the Diplomats.
Evans played a brilliant game with providing the Spartans with nine saves. She kept the Green and White in the contest throughout the 60 minutes with numerous close range stops. Vautier led the Spartan defense once again as she registered three caused turnovers as well as three draw controls. As a team, the Green and White caused seven turnovers in the game largely due to the strong defensive effort from Vautier.
Wayson and Mulford both contributed two goals each to add to a combination of 29 goals.
Ehrhardt led the Diplomats with two goals of her own and the victory gave their goalie Kelsey Hoffman the win for the match.
The Spartans return to action on Saturday, March 10, when they travel to Dickinson for another non-conference game. The first draw is set for 12:00 pm.

|R. H. Smedley's Pocket Watch from WW1
I am trying to find someone that once lived in or around Thamesville. Here is the story, years ago when i was a kid i found a nice watch laying in a yard in Michigan. Inside there is some engraving indicating that this watch was given to RH Smedley by the friends of thamesville for his service in world war 1. I forgot about this watch but found it yesterday in a box. I would just like to find a relative of RH that I can return this watch to. Any assistance you can provide would be much appreciated.
|Pocket watch of R. H. Smedley CEF
Ronald's Attestation Paper (front) shows he was living in Thamesville when he enlisted November 1, 1916.
He was born in Blackpool, Lancashire England and his parents were Herbert and Maggie Smedley.
Starting with that information it should be possible to find out if he survived the war, had any siblings, or a wife and family who might like to have the watch.
I hope my readers will jump in to help find Ronald's family. Let's help Chad send this watch home!
Update: It only took a few hours and we have the names of 3 children for Ronald, who moved to Detroit Michigan from Thamesville Ontario, in 1920. See comments for more updates! Thanks everyone! Let's keep going and find Ronald's sons and grandchildren to let them know about this watch.


text: I am planning on going to Petit Jean State Park to hike the Seven Hollows Trail on Wednesday December 19th. There are 3 new caches along the trail that I am going to find along with 1 other in the park that I have not found. There are 4 other caches along the trail and many, many others within the State Park. The Seven Hollows Trail is a 4.2 mile loop trail that has plenty of sights to see including waterfalls, a natural bridge, plenty of interesting rock formations, and lots of bluffs and places to explore. In August 2000, a forest fire burned through the Seven Hollows area and consumed about 864 acres in the state park. There is plenty of evidence of the many large trees that were killed but the area continues to change as the new growth emerges. I have been back about 3 to 4 times per year to hike the trail and it still amazes me how fast the area has recovered. If anyone is interested in joining me for this hike just send me an email or private message and we can make plans to meet.

Ph.D. Cultural Heritage and Applied Anthropology
Our doctoral program specializes in Cultural Heritage and Applied Anthropology. Students in this program focus not only on cutting-edge research, but also the application of anthropology to one or more central issues of the 21st century. These include the preservation of heritage and traditions, whether objects, landscapes, or language; international social issues, particularly global development and health delivery; or understanding the biological basis of humankind. This program requires more extensive coursework than the M.A. and, even more importantly, the achievement of independent professional-level scholarship demonstrated by completion of a major research project presented to the faculty as a dissertation. This comprehensive yet individualized program provides seasoned professionals and recent B.A. and M.A. graduates alike an opportunity to earn a Doctorate.
Cultural heritage studies analyzes 'heritage' as an archaeological, ethnohistorical, social, biological, linguistic, and legal construct. Heritage reflects a socially and personally important set of cultural, linguistic, and biological attributes that has developed through historical processes, which have social and legal meanings and consequences. The concept recognizes diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds while grounded in principles of the unity of heritage for all people. Different notions of heritage are explored from a theoretical perspective using various anthropological and other relevant paradigms. The course of study covers topics such as cultural resource management, social impact assessment, the interaction between cultures, invention of tradition through time, cultural landscapes, cultural property, biological heritage issues, and retention of culture and language. An overlapping concern of the Ph.D. program is applied anthropology, the use of the anthropological perspective to solve real-world problems, including cultural heritgage, medical anthropology, and a host of international development issues.
At the heart of our program is a strong commitment to employ anthropological theory to engage contemporary relevant issues with focused research for communities. While some that are awarded a Ph.D. in Anthropology from University of Montana will look toward teaching careers, a goal of the program is to produce applied anthropologists who will serve in government agencies, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), tribal and ethnic associations, and businesses.
Admission to the anthropology Ph.D. program is competitive and open to students with a bachelors or master's degree; a GPA of 3.2; GRE scores and/or TOEFL scores; positive letters of recommendation; and a statement of purpose that indicates professional goals compatible with the research specialties of the faculty. There is no minimum GRE score, and GRE scores are only one measure used to assess an applicant's suitability for the program. Provisional admission may be offered for promising students who do not meet the GPA standards. If the student's bachelors degree is not in Anthropology, the student will work with their advisor to develop a course of instruction that includes developing a background in the four fields of Anthropology.
Applicants to the Ph.D. program should include a significant writing sample as part of their application. For students with a masters degree this should be their Masters level original work such as a thesis or professional paper. For students without a masters degree this should consists of a selection of term papers or research reports that they have completed.
Students in an M.A. or B.A./B.S. program (at University of Montana or another institution) may apply for admission to the Ph.D. program up to one year before completing the M.A. degree, but their admission to the program will be provisional, contingent upon finishing their M.A. or B.A./B.S. program.
Graduate student applicants may apply online through the Graduate School.
The Cultural Heritage Studies and Historical Anthropology Ph.D. program requires coursework, a reviewed portfolio, a comprehensive examination, and a defended dissertation. The faculty expects completion of the Ph.D. within three years of earning the masters degree.
The faculty will assign the student a Ph.D. committee chair upon acceptance into the Ph.D. program; and the student, in consultation with the chair, will select at least two more members for the committee within their first semester in the program. The Ph.D. committee chair will guide the student in choosing appropriate courses and research experiences to accomplish their desired educational outcomes, including serving as the dissertation committee chair. If a student's interests change to the extent that another faculty member would be more appropriate as the dissertation committee chair the student may present a written petition to the graduate advising coordinator, who will consult with the student's existing committee chair, the prospective new committee chair, the Department Chair, and any other relevant faculty in making a decision to grant the student's request.
Graduate Contract and Portfolio
The student and their Ph.D. committee will formulate a plan of study, in the form of a graduate contract, tailored to the student's specific goals and consistent with Graduate School policy (section D.2000), within the student's first semester of entering the program. The contract will state the student's desired educational outcomes, the way in which the outcomes will be achieved, and the manner in which the outcomes will be assessed. The contract may only be altered with the approval of the student's Ph.D. committee. The student will create and maintain a portfolio of work documenting progress toward fulfillment of the graduate contract.
Students are expected to complete the following course requirements:
- A total of 30 credits beyond those required for the MA degree (total of at least 60 credits post bachelors degree).
- The core course sequence consisting of ANTY 600, 601, and 602.
- At least nine credits in research (ANTY 697) and/or dissertation (ANTY 699). Students may apply up to 10 credits of ANTY 593/597/599 or the equivalent and 10 credits of ANTY 697/699 or the equivalent toward the 60 post-baccalaureate credits required for the degree. After students have earned a M.A. degree they may not enroll in ANTY 593/597/599.
Dissertation Research Proposal
Before accumulating 45 postbaccalaureate credits and before enrolling in ANTY699 the student will develop a detailed dissertation research proposal. A funding proposal to an appropriate source may be substituted for the research proposal. At a minimum the proposal should include:
- The goal of the scholarly work, including hypotheses to be tested;
- The materials and methods to be used;
- A significant annotated bibiography or literature review;
- A completed, but not submitted, University of Montana Institutional Review Boardfor Human Subjects in Research checklist form if the scholarly work involves living human subjects;
- A completed, but not submitted, Graduate School Application for Graduation.
Dissertation Committee
After completion of the dissertation proposal the candidate will form a dissertation committee consisting of five members who meet the requirements listed in Graduate School Policy (sectionsD4.100 and D4.300), including one University of Montana -- Missoula faculty member who is outside Anthropology.
Comprehensive Examination
Each student will orally present their research proposal at a meeting with their dissertation committee. During this meeting the committee will ask questions designed to assess whether the proposal and the student's background demonstrate the likelihood of successful completion of the dissertation research. The committee will also review the student's portfolio to assess the student's progress toward their desired outcomes. If the student has demonstrated substantial progress toward fulfillment of their graduate contract and is, in the opinion of the committee, prepared to undertake dissertation research, then they will be invited to continue work toward the completion oftheir dissertation. If deficiencies exist the committee may prescribe remedial action or direct the student toward graduation with a terminal M.A. degree. However, students may not earn a second M.A. degree in Anthropology from University of Montana by this mechanism.
Dissertation Defense
After the dissertation is completed, the student's dissertation committee will review it and ask the student to defend it following the process described in Graduate School policy (section D5.000).

Ancient Faith Radio Announces Survey Results
Ancient Faith Radio Operations Manager Bobby Maddex, reports on results from their recent listener survey:
Thanks so much for participating in the 2011 Ancient Faith Radio (AFR) listener survey. We had a record number of respondents and learned so much about who you are and how you use our radio station. For example, we discovered that a sizable portion of our listening audience (11.1%) is comprised of Orthodox inquirers. We learned that most of you (52.4%) listen to AFR for our podcasts, and that in addition to our beloved daily features—The Path, Saint of the Day, and Coffee Cup Commentaries—the most popular of these programs are Speaking the Truth in Love, The Illumined Heart, At the Intersection of East and West, Frederica Here and Now, and The Names of Jesus. And we discovered that most of you (56.1%) initially heard about the station from either a friend or a search engine. Here are a few of the other things we learned (top answers only):
What is your Orthodox jurisdiction?
Antiochian 31.0%
Greek 20.1%
Russian 5.4%
What is your age group?
12-24 8.2%
25-34 20.6%
35-44 21.6%
45-54 21.6%
55-64 21.6%
Are you a convert to Orthodoxy or cradle Orthodox?
Convert 72.9%
Cradle 27.1%
As helpful as these findings indeed are, your answers to the open-ended questions have been even more useful. Chiefly, we learned that you wanted some major changes to our streaming talk station: a larger variety of talk programs, no music, and more frequent program updates. So numerous were the requests along these lines, in fact, that we decided to respond immediately, upgrading our automation system and implementing the improvements you suggested. The new version of AFR Talk premiered on Friday, January 28, and we couldn't be more pleased with the new format.
Of course, the very best part about conducting a survey like this is hearing about the ways in which Ancient Faith Radio has affected your lives. Permit me to share with you one such response:
I listen nearly every day on my iPod while running. AFR has had an incredible life-changing impact on me. I have been listening for 1 1/2 years. My wife is now beginning to listen to select items I suggest. Frankly, our Protestant faith is being turned on its head by the "discovery" of the ancient faith of Orthodox Christianity, and AFR has and does play a major role in that turning. Christ is in our midst in ways we have longed for our entire lives! Thank you for the vision to begin AFR. Only God knows the life-changing impact it is having in the hearts of your listeners. May God continue to bless and expand this ministry by your efforts.
How amazing—and humbling! Again, we are so thankful for your participation in our most recent listener survey. If you have additional comments or questions, don't wait until next year to let us know. As always, please feel free to email me anytime at firstname.lastname@example.com. God bless!

When Apple promoted Jony Ive to lead its software design last week, some people rejoiced because they believed it meant the death of some hokey design elements in iOS.
There has been a debate inside Apple and out, about whether Apple's design sensibility should remain "skeuomorphic"--software features looking like real-world devices--or whether Apple should just drop this and pursue a more modern design.
Specifically, observers have questioned whether Apple should have, for instance, a Podcast app that has a digital reel-to-reel tape player, or a Notes app that looks like a fake legal pad, since there is no practical need for a yellow background with lines on an iPhone.
While these design elements may be eradicated now that previous software chief Scott Forstall is gone, there are bigger problems for Apple to solve than whether the Notes app looks like a fake legal pad, says Kontra at Counternotions, a smart anonymous blogger who writes about Apple and design.
Apple's software, while the best in the world, still has flaws that aren't skin deep, says Kontra: "Apple software — especially its self-declared future, iOS — needs some serious overhaul both in aesthetics and experience, and far more in the latter department."
The question for Apple: Can Jony Ive handle both of those responsibilities?
Ive has proven himself to be a very capable hardware designer. Apple's iPhones, iPads, laptops, and desktop computers are the best looking gadgets on the market. Apple is betting that his eye for design will translate into software.
But software, as Kontra points out, is about more than just looks. It's about "the behavioral aspects of application design in general." In other words, Ive has to understand how software works, not just what it looks like.
One example of Apple's user experience lagging from Kontra: "Six items that drain mobile device batteries (GPS, WiFi, cellular radio, Bluetooth, notifications and screen brightness) still require laborious, multiple clicks in multiple places, not immediately obvious to non-savvy users to turn on and off, without any simple, thematic or geo-fenced grouping."
On Android-based Samsung phones, you just swipe from the top of the phone and you have a options to turn on or turn off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, sound, airplane mode, and a bunch of other options. It's pretty simple.
There are other examples of where the user experience needs to be better. It's not just that Apple Maps are inaccurate from time to time, it's that the search engine for Maps needs to be better. Siri needs a better database powering it. Apps should be able to work together. And so on.
The main point is that if you're obsessing over what iOS looks like under Ive, you're missing out on something much more important: how will it work?

Posts tagged abandoned
The Nuthouse5
Perhaps not the most PC title, but quite fitting. The 'nuthouse' is a semi-abandoned asylum on the northside of Cork city in the Sundays Well area. I say semi-abandoned in that three quarters of the (possibly longest in Ireland) building has been converted into apartments. The last quarter sits unused, almost completely gutted and looking devoid of any life or future development plans. It's almost as if it's been left alone for some reason.
Now I'm not saying it's haunted or anything, but given it's past use and tales of what went on in there in decades gone by, I personally wouldn't live in one of the apartments if it was offered with a free car and a cheque for €300k. Maybe that makes me superstitious. Or cautious. Or at least I was cautious enough (this time at least) not to try and enter the building via the ridiculously flimsy looking 'bridge' (pictured below) that someone had installed in haste. Didn't really fancy the 20+ foot drop to the glass & various debris littered below.
It's both a massively interesting building and a bloody massive building. If you've walked in the Lee fields or along the Carrigrohane road, you'll no doubt have looked to your right over the river and gazed at the ornate grey building half way up the hill.
Having said all of the above, if someone offered me a guided tour of both the abandoned and lived in portions of the building, I wouldn't refuse.. Anyone?

According to French Wind Energy Association FEE, this is the first time in ten years that the regulations have been simplified.
The measures include scrapping the wind power development zones (ZDEs). Until now, turbines had to be located n these areas to qualify for guaranteed power-purchase prices, but they were also vulnerable to legal challenges.
ZDEs have been made redundant by the introduction of regional wind-power plans that are currently being finalised. These plans will now form the top-level planning instrument, identifying areas where plants can be built.
The law also removes the five-turbine minimum threshold, which blocked a large number of projects in rural areas, particularly in western France. According to industry figures, the introduction of the threshold in 2010 led to more than 50% of projects under development in the regions of Pays-de-la-Loire, Brittany and Basse-Normandie to be put on hold.
The law also introduces two special exemptions from coastal planning laws: one allows turbines to be installed in coastal areas in the overseas territories, while another allows export cables from offshore installations to pass through protected zones.
This was the second attempt to pass the law. Last October, the upper house rejected it for reasons not related to wind power.
Various problems still remain, however. Most importantly, there is still uncertainty regarding the guaranteed premium purchase price for onshore wind following a legal challenge last year. The industry has also warned that an increase in grid connection charges proposed by the transmission system operator could put projects in jeopardy.
The rate of deployment in France has been falling over the past three years as a result of an increasingly complex permitting system. Trade association Renewable Energy Syndicate estimates that the number of employees working in the sector has fallen from nearly 11,000 in 2010 to just under 8,000 today.

When Should I Schedule My Grayslake AC Service?

2013 PGA Scholarship recipients announced as part of PGA Minority Collegiate Golf Championship
Eight student-athletes have been selected to receive a PGA Scholarship, and they will be presented during the Welcome Dinner. Each year, students from participating schools can apply to receive scholarship awards for their academic excellence at their respective institutions.
--Read the story
Contestants must be students of a university or college, and who have met all the academic requirements of their respective institution governing participation in intercollegiate athletics.
Celebrating its 27th year, the PGA Minority Collegiate Golf Championship presented by Brown Capital Management originated in November 1986 and has elevated golf in minority colleges and universities by providing opportunities to more players to compete in a national championship.
The 1986 organizational meeting brought together a significant group of founders: the late Dr. Herschel Cochrane, Dr. Joe D. Saunders of the National Negro Golf Association; Jackson State University Golf Coach Eddie Payton; Rose Harper-Elder of the Sports Management Institute; and William (Bill) Dickey, founder of the Bill Dickey Scholarship Association and recipient of the 1999 PGA Distinguished Service Award. The founders' goal was to provide a national stage for players from minority schools after being denied opportunities to compete in NCAA collegiate golf events.
The inaugural Championship was conducted in the spring of 1987 at Highland Park Golf Course in Cleveland, Ohio. Since 1998, PGA Golf Club has been host to the Championship, and in 2006, The PGA of America was granted complete ownership and management of the Championship by the National Minority College Golf Scholarship Fund.
In 1990, a Career Fair was introduced to provide corporate sponsors the opportunity to interview and recruit outstanding college students for future employment. As a result, the Career Fair has developed into an invaluable resource to assist students in gaining internships and full-time positions within the golf industry.

Task ideas
The following ideas are presented as a list to be discussed on the jour fixe prior to arrival of the group. All agents will require central accomodations in Vienna to make the most of their stay. The group proposes to work mainly during hours when the lab is not too busy, and always in collaboration and discussion with someone from the lab who can "sign up" time for a task.
Entrance Area as Light Space
- Ceiling
The entrance area has been worked on as demonstrated by Philip at the Charette; principally, the idea has been executed as a white opaque plexiglas ceiling that becomes a surface of colored light veins. We propose that we continue working with light as concept for this space:
- Empty and full crates for ClubMates etc are proposed to be used as light filters
Agents Mint Cream and Azure propose that they can work in this area, fixing lights according to a certain system and design. They need one metalab'ler to discuss the ideas prior to their arrival. Estimated work time on site: a few hours.
Other suggestions to be discussed:
- Use of chalk (glow in the dark and others) on the walls to leave messages. This will lighten up the walls, make messages appear especially at night, etc., and works with the overall concept of the room.
- Lockers for personal belongings and jackets will be found over time and placed where appropriate. Agent Pink Panther is offering her expertise in space planning to help allocating a good space for lockers in future and/or present, as they should not clutter any space but be functional.
A possible task regarding the coat hanging system is to install a coat rack in front of the door to the Kicker room (Arcade). This could serve the concept in two ways: 1. Walking "through coats" to enter the arcade will enhance the phonebooth effect 2. Also serve as a sound buffer.
- Where and when and how is the technical tract
- What about security: any thoughts? Interesting for us because it could become part of a space solution.
Hallway (Vortex Corridor)
CNC cut stencils (boards of different materials: styrofoam, metal, MDF, etc.) will be produced endlessly by students of architecture locally. Contacts and delivery system will be provided by Stealth. These panels are also proposed to be used in the window bays, for instance, as this provides a level of simply controlled view screening to the street (and insulation). The screening to the street is necessary to be used to transport the message of the metalab to the exterior, rather than blocking sight completely by cheap means.
The light space (entrance) will continue into the corridor to link the two spaces for navigation puposes. The lights can be installed behind the screens (protection and hiding) and also any control panels (button, switches) can be accessible through the cutouts in the panels (also protected from uninteded touch by bywalkers drunk). Light system possible to be motion sensitive - it is a simple system, and should be timed very fast so they immediately turn off when a person walks along the corridor, there are 3 lights minimum that go on in succession as the person walks along.
All agents will cooperate on this mission and can provide a drawing if it needs clarification. Metalab'ler required who is into contol panels, buttons, lights, etc, as well as anyone who is interested into RFIDs because this will make the main link for provision of panels.
Main Room
- Convertible furniture arrangement and storage will be thought up whilst there, drawings will be made for this by Agent Pink Panther who will provide expert knowledge of possible future solutions, as well as working with what is there. Rubbish system and other sytems will be coordinated by this agents, working together with the light crew.
- Sol Le Witt like painting that exists could be extended as a system.
- Light systems can be worked by Agents Azure, Mint Cream, Papaya Whip and Lavender with DMX
see http://2loop.com/3drooms.html and comment
- libary entrance
double wall to be inserted so library becomes soundproof. In between space to be fixed with a pole that can be used to stack all chairs if not in use. All agents ready for a day of work
- fabrics:
Main point of discussion: Agents are ready to purchase cheap, fireproof fabrics in the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul and deliver it to the lab. Budget mentioned and approved by metalab is 2000 Euro, not to be spent on fabric only, but partially. XXX: Enki says: Buying fabrics for a few 100 eur is okay. But 2000 Eur total budget has not been approved, but only set as a top limit for the total budget. We certainly need to discuss at a Jour Fixe before any further large purchases!
To know how much fabric should be bought and haggled for next week, we need to know:
- dimensions of the couches and other furniture that will get a set of covers made especially (Agent Lavender will have access to an industrial sawing machine in Vienna and will focus on the production)
- any other areas that you would like to have textile for?
- table:
we can construct simple table that becomes a good couch extra. Agents Lavender, Mint Cream and Azure. Proposed picture to be uploaded soon of possible solution.
To install a functional ventilation is not a priority of our action, but as there are plenty of ideas, let's discuss this as part of the design.
- Lounge
The lounge is the official smoking room. Ventilation by opening the windows in not always practical. Proposal could be to install a proper ventilation tract from the lounge via the corridor through the happylab into the courtyard.
- chemical and photo lab
to be discussed
In all other areas, it seems sufficient to open windows.
- see WhateverLab/Umbau
- Floor
instead of resin, we propose a simple tarp paint. Details can be discussed if approved by
- Lighting
- Furniture:
workplaces/desks attached to wall (legless) storage/shelving: machine room with specific shelves for toolboxes happy/chemistrylab with 10 cm deep shelves for smaller equipment.
- Step
to get out of the building for trash, it is a primary task for agent Mint Cream to make a step that also integrates the drawers from tables existing in order to store equipment.
- Welding curtain price check for part of the budget.
- primarily for main room
- controlled by DMX
Hallway describes the corridor that joins the entrance with the main area. Decoration or usage concepts for the long aisle between entrance and main room:
- Extension of a dynamic lighting system from the entrance area to visually "draw" a line to the main room
- Enhancing the effect of a transformation tunnel
- System for panels that could be used to create a second skin in the corridor:
Panels are produced for laser cutting and 3d milling in architectural models; architex can develop multifunctional double skin system that can be built upon by metalab over the next few months.

The entire list
Azerbaijan Novoye Vremya – October, 6- 2008
Adnan Oktar: Balkans are all Ottoman lands, until the inlands of the Italy. Balkans are the Ottoman lands till the close regions to Italy. The trace and the beauty of the Ottoman can be seen everywhere. In the Turkish-Islamic Union those places will be the regions of peace, cities of peace… Only the Turkish-Islamic Union offers blessings, abundance and peace to them. The Turkish-Islamic Union will offer peace and happiness to Bosnia, Albania and everywhere insha'Allah.

If you say any of these things about Michael Sam, you really need to just go ahead take it easy there, champ. Why don't you just stop talking for a while? You'll be doing the rest of us a favor.
"Why is this news?"
Name all the openly gay male athletes in major North American team sports. That's why. Although, honestly, if you're asking this question, you probably can't name all the countries in North America, so this request may be a bridge too far for you.
"This isn't important. Why does he need to tell them and us he's gay? No one cares if straight people declare that they're straight. Why should we care that he's gay?"
I really have no idea. It also wasn't news when the Dodgers signed Jackie Robinson, or when Doug Williams (and later Tony Dungy) won a Super Bowl. Or when this happened. It's clearly not news at all when a barrier is broken down. Nope. No news here.
For fuck's sake, this goddamn comment. When someone says this, it means one of only two possible things:
A) "Well, shit, they won't let me call him a f——t any more, what can I say to completely marginalize him and make this story go away so I can assuage my droopy bonerfeelings?"
B) "I don't want to think about gay people because they're icky. Ewwwwww, make them go away!"
(Also, and I shouldn't have to clarify this, but I'm not comparing Michael Sam coming out to America electing the first non-white President ever. For fuck's sake, calm down, I realize they're not remotely comparable. I'm just using it to highlight how absurd it is that people are trying to regard a major barrier being broken down as "not really news." I can't believe I need to explain this)
"I have gay friends, but—"
Let me just stop you right there so I can say:
"If he doesn't get drafted, it won't be because of homophobia."
He was the Defensive Player of the Year in the best college football conference probably in the history of time, playing one of the most heavily-needed specialties (speed rusher) in football. Of course it fucking will be because of homophobia if he doesn't get drafted.
For the record, he's definitely getting drafted. There are at least five teams that won't let him slip past the 4th round under any circumstances (WHOOPS! This turned out to be WAY too optimistic of me), and for all of his general dickishness on other issues, Roger Goodell is actually pretty well acquainted with this issue (I know, I was as disappointed as you are to learn that there's something humanizing about Roger Goodell).
"He must be doing this for publicity."
Or because it was basically an open secret that he was gay, his teammates had known for the entire year, NFL Execs had already been hearing rumors to that effect, and it was a matter of time before the story broke in one form or another, so he decided to tell it his way and own the narrative. Meaning he's not just a brave kid, he's also savvy. Also, if you're saying this, you're a complete fuckwit.
By the way, if the Dolphins draft him, I'm grabbing the www.freemichaelsam.com domain name as fast as I possibly can.
"He's immoral and something something bigotry something something the Bible something something weird obsession with gay sex something something eat da poo poo something something I have the intellectual capacity of peat moss."
My answer to this one involves a two-by-four and what Bryce Harper does when he gets an inside fastball, so imma just leave this here.

World Cup: Thibaut Courtois hits back at Simon Mignolet's Belgium claims
Thibaut Courtois has hit back at Liverpool's Simon Mignolet for saying he was eyeing up his Belgium number one jersey.
Last Updated: 05/02/14 6:52pm
Courtois, who is currently on loan at Atletico Madrid from Chelsea, has been Belgium's first-choice stopper since Marc Wilmots took charge in 2012 but he faces stiff competition from Mignolet, who moved to Anfield last summer.
With the World Cup approaching, the Liverpool goalkeeper had spoken out about his hopes of dislodging the 21-year-old from the team in time for the trip to Brazil.
However, Courtois believes that he remains in pole position for the tournament and thinks that Mignolet should take heed from the attitudes of the current world champions' goalkeeping fraternity.
"In Spain, I hear no goalkeeper saying they're aiming for the place of Casillas," he told Sport/Foot Magazine.
"Not De Gea, not Valdes, not Reina. It's the opposite - they back Casillas.
"Simon can say whatever he wants, but I think I've already saved enough points for Belgium and I'm playing good games for Atletico. He has to stay humble and respectful."

Kevin Lathan's 187 yards, one touchdown lead Sachem North
Kevin Lathan, often the forgotten man in Sachem North's high-powered offense, had a night to remember.
The 5-4, 160-pound senior rushed for 187 yards on 20 carries, scored one touchdown and set up another as the Flaming Arrows defeated the Marauders, 24-7, Friday night at Sachem North in a Suffolk I first-round playoff game.
Lathan was at his best in the second half. After Bay Shore (4-5) cut it to 10-7 on Matthias Eato's 33-yard touchdown run, Lathan exploded up the middle for 20 yards to ignite a 71-yard drive that concluded with Lathan's 22-yard scoring burst.
"We always talk about being ready and he was," North coach Dave Falco said. "He had a good JV career but in two years on the varsity, he's had to play behind two good fullbacks -- Tyler Andreassi and Anthony Ross. When they both got hurt, he really stepped up. I'm so proud of him. He's a real team guy who's played on our special teams."
In the fourth quarter, after an interception by Chris Biryla, Lathan shook free for a 47-yard gain that set up an 11-yard TD run by Kevin Bragaglia, who had scored on a 23-yard pass from Mike O'Donnell in the second quarter.
As North (7-2) was running out the clock following a fumble recovery by Biryla, Lathan capped off his career night with a 24-yard run that gave him more yards in Friday night's game than he had accumulated all season. Lathan entered the game with 174 yards on 35 carries. He is one of the Arrows who has stepped up following season-ending injuries to offensive studs Trent Crossan and Andreassi.
Bragaglia, a dynamic sophomore, also had a big game. He carried 10 times for 58 yards and a touchdown, caught three passes for 73 yards and another TD, and made a big interception for North's opportunistic defense that caused four turnovers.
These two teams combined for 125 points in their Week 2 meeting -- a 63-62 overtime victory for Sachem North.

Northern California Seismic Network
Please see note on Timing problem at Mammoth analog stations 01/22/2015 - 01/27/2015
Since 1967 the U.S. Geological Survey has operated the Northern California Seismic Network (NCSN) to provide earthquake data for a wide range of research topics and hazard-reduction activities. The NCSN is designed to detect all local earthquakes having signal strength above the background level of microseisms. The network configuration was motivated by the need to monitor active faults and volcanoes with a station density sufficient to determine the focal depth of shallow (0-15 km) crustal earthquakes. Depending on the concentration of stations in a region, the magnitude (M) level at which earthquake detection is complete varies from approximately 1.0 in parts of the central Coast Ranges to 2.6 in the Klamath Mountain range. However, earthquakes with M<1.0 are routinely detected throughout the network.
The NCSN operates 580 stations in northern and central California and records an additional 159 stations maintained by the Southern California Seismic Network, Pacific Gas & Electric, the University of Nevada Reno, the California Department of Water Resources, Calpine/LBNL, and the California Geological Survey. It records a total of 1850 channels of data using a mix of digital and analog systems. Nearly 60% of the stations in the network are now digital, and 24 of the digital stations have broadband sensors, 333 have strong-motion sensors, and 10 are borehole installations. The remainder of the stations are mostly comprised of short-period vertical-component sensors. The NCSN telemetry system utilizes local collection nodes which are linked to Menlo Park via a microwave system between Geyser Peak above Geyserville and Black Mountain near San Luis Obispo, satellite telemetry, and leased digital circuits. The network also utilizes direct radio telemetry to Menlo Park, cellular data services, and operates an extensive LAN that links urban stations located in the San Francisco Bay region.

2009-10 Indoor Track Season Recap
Farmingdale, N.Y. - The Farmingdale State men's and women's indoor track teams qualified 12 men and four women this season for the ECAC Championships. Freshmen Corine Magee (Mastic Beach, N.Y./William Floyd) and Faustine Chukwuezi (Central Islip, N.Y./Central Islip) qualified for the NCAA National Championship held at DePauw University.
The men began the indoor season by placing second at the Collegiate Track Conference Relays as they won two individual events and four relays. Freshman Alix Lamarre (Uniondale, N.Y./Mepham) was the individual winner and combined with freshman Donnell Jones (Brooklyn, N.Y./Valley Stream Central) in capturing the 55m relay. Junior Nick David (Mt. Sinai, N.Y./Mt. Sinai) was the individual winner and teamed with freshman John Verderber (Aquebogue, N.Y./Riverhead) to win the pole vault relay, while junior Qasim Ellis (Farmingdale, N.Y./Farmingdale) teamed with Lamarre to win the long jump relay and senior Kurt Johns-Harris (Stonybrook, N.Y./Ward Melville) to win the triple jump relay. The following week, the Rams captured the Ursinus Five-Team Meet and won the pole vault (David), long jump (Ellis), 200m (Deshaun Thomas, Jamaica, N.Y./Thomas Edison), 3000m (Sean Tiernan, Staten Island, N.Y./Tottenville) and the 4x400m relay.
Ellis and junior Jeffrey St. Simon (Farmingdale, N.Y./Farmingdale) placed first and second respectively in the triple jump and the New York City Gotham Cup. Ellis' jump of 46' 9" moved him to #2 on the Farmingdale State All-Time List. At the same meet, freshman Ed Brown (Bay Shore, N.Y./Bay Shore) set a school record in the 35 pound weight throw with a distance of 53' 9 ¼". David won the pole vault and tied a school record at the Wesleyan Invitational, where Ellis captured the long jump and Johns-Harris had the winning triple jump. David would stand alone in the pole vault with a school record jump at the CTC Championships one month later. The Rams finished in fifth place at the CTC's and were defeated by only one Division III team.
The women began the indoor season at the CTC Relays and finished in fourth place, which was the best finish in program history. Chukwuezi was the individual winner in the long jump and teamed with freshman Victoria Mandat (West Babylon, N.Y./North Babylon) to win the triple jump relay. Mandat was the individual winner in the 55m hurdles and teamed with senior Nicole Zarek (Massapequa, N.Y./Farmingdale) and freshman Casey Bergin (Syosset, N.Y./Syosset) to win the 55m hurdle relays. The team also captured the 4x200m relays, setting a new school record as Chukwuezi and Magee teamed with Mandat and freshman Kathleen Clermont (Uniondale, N.Y./Uniondale). Senior captain Gina Pierre (Wyandanch, N.Y./St. John the Baptist) broke her won school record in the 20 pound weight toss with a distance of 44 feet.
Magee broke the school record in the 200m at the Ursinus Five Team Meet, while Mandat captured the 55m hurdle event for her second straight victory.
Chukwuezi broke the school record in the triple jump at the NYU Gotham Cup with a mark of 37' 10 ¼", which qualified her for the Division III National Championship. The following week at the Wesleyan Invitational Mandat won the 55m hurdles and set a school record with a time of 8.78. Magee won the 55m and 200m, while Chukwuezi won the triple jump at the same event.
The women finished in a program best 5th place at the CTC's and had the highest team finish in school history at the ECAC Championship. Magee set the school record in the 55m dash and the 200m at the ECAC Championship. Her time of 7.25 in the 55m qualified her for the National Championship. Mandat broke her own school record in the 55m hurdles with a time of 8.55
Magee and Chukwuezi competed in the NCAA Indoor Track Championship and were two out of thirty freshman to compete in a field of 224.

The Jazz 2011 Replay
(For a complete list of 54th GRAMMY Awards nominees, click here.)
Last year was truly fantastic, musically, for the jazz genre — there wasn't a month that went by that I didn't want to run up a credit card balance on all the engaging compositions that were being put on the market by established, younger and independent artists!
From bassist Esperanza Spalding's stunning win for Best New Artist at the 53rd Annual GRAMMY Awards to the seemingly ubiquitous Terri Lyne Carrington and her GRAMMY-nominated The Mosaic Project, 2011 was a fine year to experience an abundance of female jazz artists.
In addition to the all-star cast of women (including Spalding, Cassandra Wilson and Dee Dee Bridgewater, among others) who recorded as a part of Carrington's project, other joyously led female albums were released by pianists Hiromi (Voice), Joan Stiles (Three Musicians), Eliane Elias (Light My Fire), and Lynne Arriale (Convergence); experimental jazz composer and alto saxophonist Matana Roberts (Coin Coin Chapter One: Gens De Couleur Libre); and current GRAMMY-nominated vocalists Karrin Allyson ('Round Midnight), Roseanna Vitro (The Music Of Randy Newman) and Tierney Sutton (American Road).
An encouraging trend that I saw last year was the emergence of a strong field of younger musicians. Two of the most anticipated releases in 2011 were vibraphonist Warren Wolf's self-titled debut and current GRAMMY-nominated pianist Gerald Clayton's Bond: The Paris Sessions. Trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire also garnered attention with his Blue Note Records debut, When The Heart Emerges Glistening. These young men are already accomplished and brimming with potential. I cannot wait to hear what they've been working on next! Wolf's and Akinmusire's albums ended up on many jazz critics "best of 2011" lists, and deservedly so.
In 2011 jazz artists continued to fund their recording projects in conjunction with crowd-funding websites such as Indiegogo.com, Kickstarter.com and Rockethub.com. This development can only be positive, as we fans will be able to hear the creativity of artists that don't have the backing of a record label behind them.
There is a whole new slate of festivals, shows, album release, and listening parties to attend in 2012. I encourage both jazz heads and newbies to get out and discover jazz!

The Fun of Dying - Find out what really happens next!
The author, Roberta Grimes, has spent three decades studying a century's worth of afterlife evidence, and for the first time she has put it all together in a book. This is the story of what *really* happens next.
This book carries a bold title and needs a design to match!
Title: The Fun of Dying
Subtitle: Find out what really happens next!
Author: Roberta Grimes
For the back cover, please use fill text in place of a summary, advance praise, author headshot, etc.
This book targets a wide range of people. Its target audience is anyone who has lost a loved one, anyone who will be affected by death, or someone who is afraid of dying.
While he topic is morbid, the message of the book is anything but that!
This contest is for the front, spine and back cover.
The book is 6x9 and the spine is 1/2 inch.
Please use any colors you see fit to make your design happen. The author would like to use silver, embossed letters, but this is not a requirement.
**The focus of this book cover is the title.**
The designer is most certainly welcome to include other added touches that you feel would enhance the cover, but please make certain the MAIN focus of the cover is the words of the title.
Please try subtle plays on the word "Fun" in the title. (Though not in all submissions.) For example, a strong sans-serif font for the title, but a fun font for the word "Fun."
The design needs to be commercial enough to fit in on a Barnes & Noble book shelf, yet it needs to be bold enough to carry the strong title and capture the attention of shoppers. We would love to see any subtle imagery hints if you feel inspired.
If you need inspiration for some great covers (some with great subtle imagery), visit here: http://bookcoverarchive.com/genre/nonfiction/
As we see concepts and themes start to emerge that we like, we will update this brief and post in the comments. Please feel free to post questions - we will answer as quickly as possible! We will give feedback just as fast as you can get designs posted.
Thank you!

Kim Kardashian Could Hold the Fate of Instagram In Her Corporate-Sponsored Hands
The internet was awash in anger and indignation on Dec. 17 when Instagram announced new privacy policy changes that seemingly allowed the hipster-friendly photo site to sell user-uploaded pics without permission or payment. In response, various celebs threatened to delete their accounts or stop posting altogether.
And right on cue, Kim Kardashian suddenly woke from a nap and -- realizing she'd missed an opportunity for media attention -- began blustering about it.
For its part, Instagram says its new policies, which go into effect Jan. 16, were widely misconstrued. The company promised there's no plan to sell any user photos and said it plans to rewrite the terms to make them less "confusing" to readers.
(They may or may not have said this while laughing maniacally and petting a white cat.)
But that wasn't good enough for Kardashian, who's telling friends she's considering switching to another service and taking all her followers with her.
That could actually be pretty damaging to Instagram. With almost 6 million people inexplicably watching her every uploaded move, Kim is the most-followed user on the Facebook-owned photo sharing service. And if Kim ends up leaving, her family could take her lead and bail too.
Bottom line: Instagram could see the max exodus of around 10 million Kardashian-obsessed fans.
Kim's holding off on a switch until the revamped policy is released, at which point an assistant will read and explain the new terms to her with a series of colorful flash cards.
