While everyone else has been planning Thanksgiving meals and making holiday shopping plans, a leadership transition has been occurring at ArtWorks! Gwinnett.
Raye Varney was named interim executive director of ArtWorks Gwinnett, according to an announcement issued on behalf of the board of directors.
Sally Corbett, the non-profit arts council's inaugural executive director, is leaving the post and moving back to New York to be near her family. She has accepted a position with the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation in Great Neck, NY, and starts her new job Nov. 26. Varney began work as interim executive director Nov. 10.
ArtWorks! Gwinnett was developed between 2008 and 2010 by volunteer civic leaders representing business, arts, and government entities, including schools, libraries and cities.
ArtWorks! Gwinnett began full-time operations in June of 2011 with Corbett's hiring. In the past year and a half ArtWorks! Gwinnett has produced programs that promote and support the arts. It also initiated the first "Fusion: ArtWorks! Gwinnett Awards." The second annual fundraiser and awards ceremony is planned for Feb. 25.
Varney brings more than 20 years of arts management expertise to Gwinnett, including work with the Georgia Council for the Arts, Georgia Shakespeare, 7 Stages Theatre, and Theatre in the Square. She managed the 1996 Cultural Olympiad Press Center. Varney is a Leadership Cobb graduate and has served as president of United Arts of Cobb and as board chair of The Renaissance Project Theatre. She is a graduate of Wake Forest University with a B.A. in English and speech communication.
Corbett has 18 years of service to arts in metro Atlanta. "I am so grateful for everyone in the arts in Gwinnett and everyone who has been supportive of the efforts made over the past year to raise the arts to a new level in Gwinnett," Corbett said. "It has been an honor to be a part of ArtWorks! Gwinnett and to help establish this unifying force for the arts. I'll miss the exceptional volunteers, artists, and civic leaders in Gwinnett."
"I've already bought my ticket for 'Fusion II' and look forward to seeing everyone in February" as ArtWorks! Gwinnett continues to make an impact," she said.
"Sally was our first executive director. She was instrumental in developing and growing ArtWorks!" said Caryn McGarity, co-chair of ArtWorks! Gwinnett's board and the organization's co-founder, in the announcement. "She has rallied members, arts organizations and supporters within our community. We couldn't have done it without her. We will miss her and will always appreciate all she has done for us. As we look ahead, we are excited to have Raye step in as our interim director. I feel confident that we will continue our path as being the umbrella organization supporting the arts for Gwinnett County."
Dan King, founding secretary and now co-chair of ArtWorks! Gwinnett, said: "ArtWorks has been successful in its mission of informing Gwinnett citizens about local arts activities and promoting the efforts of Gwinnett artists. It is helping to make Gwinnett a better place to work, live and play. Sally's unflagging efforts on behalf of Gwinnett's arts have been a big part of ArtWorks! Gwinnett's success. We will miss Sally and look forward to her return visits. The organization she helped start will continue to strive under Raye Varney and the engaged ArtWorks! Gwinnett board."
"I'm thrilled to be able to join the terrific team at ArtWorks! and am grateful for all Sally Corbett has done to put the organization on such a firm footing," Varney said.

Cooking From Every Angle
Clam Pan Roast
- Amanda
The pan roast, a model of ease, an emblem of the robust fare of old, is a favorite of mine. Most of the pan roasts I've had in my life have involved oysters, and fair enough, the oyster loves to be slathered in butter and laid upon a drift of toast. But it was time for the clam to get a chance at the pan roast.
James Beard's pan roast calls for 3/4 cup of butter to poach the oysters. You are welcome to take that route, but be ready to lie prone on the sofa afterward. I opted, instead, to steam open the clams with just a slick of butter in the pan to mingle with the clam juices, and later added a shot of cream with paprika, herbs, and the seasoning pinch hitter, Worcestershire sauce.
Clams Pan Roast
Serves 2 for lunch; 4 as a light first course
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 12 to 16 littleneck clams, scrubbed
- 1 scallion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1/8 teaspoon hot smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon parsley
- 4 to 8 toast points
- Lemon wedges

Tried the recipe and love it.
about 3 years ago amysarah
When I was a kid, I'd 'go to work' with my father a couple of times a year, on days off from school. Part of the ritual was lunch at the nearby Grand Central Oyster Bar. We'd always have Oyster Pan Roast at the counter...seemed so exotic and grown up at the time - I loved it. (Still do, though only go once in a blue moon now, and sadly, not with my dad.)
Anyway - going to try this recipe; the one at GC Oyster Bar has much more liquid over the toast - creamy, briny, more soupy. Interested to try this more modern, streamlined variation.

Minter Ellison
Click here to access full coverage of Minter Ellison in The Lawyer Asia Pacific 150 2014. The report is an essential business intelligence resource for anyone interested in Asia-Pacific's growing legal services market.
While many of its peers in Australia have chosen to tie up with an international firm, Minter Ellison has moved forward its agenda to be an Asia-Pacific regional player in its own right.
In 2012, the Australian firm opened an office in Mongolia to capitalise on the country's emerging resource-based economy. Hong Kong partner Elisabeth Ellis has relocated to Ulaanbaatar to become the office's resident partner. She is supported by a team of local lawyers, as well as the firm's regional energy and resource team.
The expansion is in line with the firm's strategic focus on the energy and resources industry, and will create natural synergy with its existing Asian offices in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong.
Elsewhere in Asia, the firm has a nine-partner Greater China team across Hong Kong, Beijing and Shanghai. A presence in North Asia is important to the firm, because to build up a credible energy and resources practice in Australia, the firm needs to be close to North Asia clients.
Having recognised the busy deal flow between Perth and Asia, the firm has also put in efforts on rebuilding its Perth office, where a large team led by 18 partners walked out to set up an office for US firm Squire Sanders in August 2011. The Perth departures were triggered by Minters' move to fully financially integrate the Perth office with its East Coast offices, including Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

Fourth of July fireworks displays at La Jolla Cove and Lake Murray have been traditions for years. But a new tradition has sprung up: environmentalist challenges to the annual shows. Encinitas lawyer Marco Gonzalez has given notice that he may continue pressing his case to halt these shows, even with the legal matter on hold. (And the Lake Murray fireworks have been canceled for 2012, says organizer John Pilch.) Should CEQA, the state environmental protection law, apply to once-a-year shows like these? Or should exceptions be made for displays beloved by many?
Poll: Should It Be Lights Out for July 4th Fireworks Displays Over Water?

BINGO!!! Nailed it!!! Give that man a cigar!!!
Merrilee Miller June 29, 2012 at 04:53 PM
The representatives of the city do not have the right hire pyrotechnic operators to shoot fireworks over our private property on/adjacent to Lake Murray. The San Diego City Council knows for a fact that the city lost this 1972 quiet title lawsuit. http://law.justia.com/cases/california/calapp3d/19/421.html Ask the San Diego city attorney for proof that the city is on title to APN: 674-010-04-00 & 674-010-09-00. It's simply a title fraud scam. A city can not over turn a superior court judge's ruling and acquire private property via fraud.
Gary Strawn July 02, 2012 at 07:12 PM
As a Member of the Regional Water Quality Control Board, I voted in favor of requiring Discharge Permits for large fireworks displays over water. I believe that there just isn't enough good science, yet, to determine the the effects of fireworks displays on our streams, bays and reservoirs. The permits were made affordable and allowed the fireworks operators to band together in conducting water quality and sediment assessments. Rather than ban fireworks, our hope is that this permitting process will help to make them safer and more enjoyable for all. Some locations or directions may need to change and some the fireworks themselves may change slightly as manufactures move to less toxic chemicals, but hopefully, the shows will go on.
Merrilee Miller August 26, 2012 at 05:55 AM
Bottom line, the city of San Diego is not on title to 2/3rd's of the land that that Lake Murray lies upon. APN: 674-010-04-00 & APN:674-010-09-00 are privately owned and consists of 102.6 acres of private property! A city can not hire pyrotechnic operators to shoot firework over private property. A city can not use FRAUD to acquire private property for an illegal private park. Do your due dilliagence and find out for yourself.
Merrilee Miller January 25, 2013 at 08:51 AM
Sorry, for the above typo. I should have stated that a city can not use FRAUD to acquire private property for an illegal "public" park.

President Obama Courageously Signs Financial Reform into Law Despite Possibility That Conservative Blogs Might Say Mean Things About It
Somewhat less sexy than seeing to the ruination of a woman's career in an effort to placate right-wing bloggers, but still somewhat significant, Barack Obama signed financial reform into law today…
The law subjects more financial companies to federal oversight, regulates many derivatives contracts and creates a panel to detect risks as well as a consumer protection regulator. A number of the details have been left for regulators to work out, inevitably setting off complicated tangles down the road that could last for years.
But "because of this law, the American people will never again be asked to foot the bill for Wall Street's mistakes," Mr. Obama said before signing the legislation. "There will be no more taxpayer-funded bailouts. Period."
Sounds good, but I don't know. I heard a rumor that a certain financial reform bill was going around town talking about how it didn't like white people. Don't know if it's the same financial reform bill or not. Maybe they should just go ahead and repeal this one now. Just in case.

Democrats Somehow Manage to Pull Off Financial Reform(ish) Legislation
Big news! Financial reform has somehow passed the Senate despite the fact that the Democrats' lack of a super-ultra-quantum-majority…
The vote was 60 to 38, with just three centrist Republicans from the Northeast joining with the Democrats in voting to advance the legislation. One Democrat, Senator Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, voted against the bill, saying it was still not tough enough. Senator Michael D. Crapo, Republican of Idaho, did not vote, and one seat — which was held by Senator Robert C. Byrd, who died last month — is vacant…
The bill would create a council of high-level federal officials, led by the Treasury secretary, to try to detect, and perhaps prevent, systemic dangers to the financial system, and it would give the government new authority to seize and shut down failing financial institutions, by liquidating assets and forcing shareholders and creditors to take losses.
Sounds promising, I think, based upon the minutes and minutes I've spent kind of thinking about it. But will it work?
"We won't know the full results of what we have done until the very institutions we have created, the regulations we have suggested and provided for are actually tested," [Sen. Chris Dodd, banking committee chair and main author of the bill] said in a floor speech. "We can't legislate wisdom or passion. We can't legislate competency. All we can do is create the structures and hope that good people will be appointed who will attract other good people — people who will make careers and listen and see to it that never again do we go through what we have gone through."
So, won't know if this bill is even worth anything until after we get hit with another huge financial crisis that threatens the very fabric of our national cohesion? I'm simply on pins and needles waiting to find out!

"[Obama] needs to really articulate the differences between an America under Romney and an America led by Obama," U.S. Rep and Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate Chris Murphy told attendees during a presidential debate viewing party at Norwalk Democratic Campaign Headquarters Tuesday night.
Norwalk DTC Chair Amanda Brown, State Senator Bob Duff and Congressman Jim Himes were also in attendance.
Duff said Obama needed to "talk about what he's most proud of and his vision for this country," while Brown said that he needed to "convince everyone he is the president we elected in 2008 and will be the president to take it to the next level in 2012."

Pros – As a student at DeVry, the best part is not having to commute to and from work to get to school. I am exposed to some of the best and most updated software and hardware on the market. Our school has much better IT equipment than any other campus I have worked at. Also, I am free to make my own projects for the most part and the experience I gain in troubleshooting and customer service is invaluable.
Cons – As of right now, there is no room for growth. The team is very small in the IT Dept. and there is no opportunity for upward movement. Our network is not local, so there I am getting very little network communications experience.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

The City of Kansas City, Mo., Water Services Department reports a wastewater overflow due to a grease blockage.
A Wastewater Maintenance crew responding to a bad odor complaint at 4000 Hardy Ave. found a manhole overflowing at the rate of 2 gallons per minute (GPM).

The area around the manhole structure has been cleaned. The sewage did not reach the state's water.

New! check out our employment and research opportunities blog! Listings are posted as they become available, and can be searched by keyword. Includes summer opportunities.
The dreaded question: "What are you going to do when you graduate?".
The good news is there are so many things you can do with a degree in Biology.
Immediately after graduation, you have three main options:
1) Get a job
2) Do an internship
3) Go to graduate school (Biology graduate programs in Virginia)
Keep in mind what your final career goal is when deciding what to do next. Don't be afraid to take some time to decide. Deferring your enrollment in grad school for a year will not hurt you in the long run and it could save you from getting halfway through a program and then realizing that it's not what you want to do.
For all sorts of Careers resources and links, visit the Career and Academic Planning website.
Start Early
If you have a specific career goal in mind, there are things you can do as early as your freshman year that will help get you on the right track for the future.
Get involved in Undergraduate Research
If you intend to go to graduate school, or if you plan to work in a job that involves research, lab work or field work, finding a faculty member in the biology department who does research in a related area and working with them is a great way to get a head start! Most jobs that you apply to will probably be looking for previous experience, so this is your chance to get some before you have even graduated.
For a more information and a list of faculty research interests, see the Research page.
If you are aiming for a career in a health profession, volunteering at a hospital or clinic that does the kind of work you are interested in not only looks good on your applications, but it gives you a better idea of what kind of work you would actually doing after you graduate. There are lots of places both here in the Harrisonburg community and your home community where you can do volunteer work. In addition, the local rescue and fire departments are always looking for good volunteers.
Write Your Resume
It's never too early to start your resume. Whether you plan on getting a job/internship right after you graduate or go on to graduate school, you're probably going to need a resume of some sort. Check out the resume section of the Career and Academic Planning website to get ideas on how to put together your first draft, and then make an appointment to have it reviewed. If you don't have a draft ready to have someone look at, just attend a Resume Workshop; dates and locations are listed on the Career and Academic Planning calendar; just choose "Resumes" in the dropdown menu to see all workshops. Think about how much less stressful it will be to just update a document rather than start one from scratch when the time comes!
When the time is right for you to send in applications, a cover letter is a crucial step in the application process. In addition to reviewing your resume, Career and Academic Planning can also give you some good tips for your cover letter as well.
Meet with your advisor
Your academic advisor is a great resource, whether you're trying to figure out which classes will best prepare you for your post-graduation plans or helping you determine which path you want to pursue. Meeting with your advisor is particularly important if you are in one of the pre-professional health programs (pre-med, pre-dentistry, pre-optometry, pre-pharmacy, pre-vet, pre-physician assistant, pre-physical therapy, pre-occupational therapy or pre-forensic science). Most application processes for graduate health programs begin at least a year before you plan to attend—meeting regularly with your pre-professional health advisor will ensure that you're not missing any important deadlines.
If you think you might be interested in going to graduate school, be sure to mention that to your advisor. They will be able to tell if there are courses that you really should take, even though they aren't strictly required for your degree, to give you the best chance when applying to grad schools.
Go to the Career and Internship Fair
Believe it or not, the best time to go to the Career Fair is NOT when you're looking for a job! The best time to go is before you're ready to look for a job. Why? Because that way, you can get used to the environment and have a better idea of what to expect the next time, when the stakes are higher. Chances are you'll be nervous enough just because you're trying to connect with an employer; why make it worse because you aren't familiar with the environment?
If you choose to attend Career Fair at any point, make sure to dress professionally. This doesn't mean you have to go all out in a suit, but you should look presentable. Ripped jeans, sweatshirts, and flip-flops don't always make the best impressions. Remember, you never know who you're going to meet—the person you chat with today might be interviewing you for a job tomorrow.
Not sure which path is right for you?
The good news is that you have lots of options with a biology degree…but that's often the trouble too. If you're not sure which direction you'd like to go in after graduation, talk to your academic or visit an advisor in Career and Academic Planning.
Here are some online resources to get you started:

This would be a fabulous opportunity for you to picket and pass out leaflets describing Bill Wilson in those loving terms of yours, JR Harris. Wouldn't it be worth a round trip ticket to fuck up this experience for anyone attending?

Thanks JR and Alkie, this play is wonderful. Of course it depends upon the actors but if you can refrain from being to critical, it is decent.
JR, once again thanks for advertising this event, people need to know about the creative art AA has to offer. The gifted artists that have populated AA are legendary. Guess what? They are still here....:)

ATHENS -- There have been other good athletes who could have made it out of Leonard Floyds tiny hometown of Chauncey. They didnt, he thinks, because they didnt have people watching out for them. Or they didnt have that singular focus he has had since that moment he realized he could get out.
Motivation. Thinking about what my goal was every day, he said. Which was to make it out of whatever I was, to a better place.
He might have found it.
The story of Georgias preseason practice, at least on the defensive side, has been Floyd. The freshman from Dodge County has earned praise from his coaches, as well as the promise of big things from teammates and a high-profile former Georgia star.
There is (one) name that everyone will need to know on UGAs defense, David Pollack, the ESPN commentator and former Georgia star defensive end, tweeted after visiting Georgia practice last week. Leonard Floyd is a freshman OLB who will be the next great pass rusher at UGA. Long, lean and explosive.
Floyd heard about that quickly, although not by reading his own Twitter feed, because hes one of the rare players who doesnt have one.
People were telling me about it, Floyd said. Someone pulled up their Twitter and showed me, I was like, Wow. I appreciated him saying that, though.
Not having a Twitter account isnt out of character for Floyd, whom teammates and coaches describe as quiet, humble and mild-mannered.
Never had any trouble out of him that I can remember, said Rex Hodges, who was Floyds head coach during his senior year at Dodge County. You hear these horror stories sometimes about these top recruits, and they really kind of mail it in that last year of high school. Leonard wasnt like that. Leonard likes playing, I dont care what hes playing, whether its football or basketball or whatever. If someones got a game going on, he wants to be a part of it.
Growing up in Chauncey, a town of maybe 300 people, Floyd was a basketball and football player. But in the 10th grade he heard from Georgia assistant coach Scott Lakatos, who was recruiting the area. That made Floyd realize football was his future.
Georgia was the first school to ever talk to me, so when they started talking to me I stopped everything and just focused on football, Floyd said.
It wasnt a direct route from Chauncey to Athens. He had to attend prep school for a year after two of his classes werent accepted by the NCAA Clearinghouse.
That might have actually helped his football development. Dodge County played a 4-3 scheme, so Floyd spent all of his time as an end, starting with his hands on the ground. But at Hargrave, he played in a 3-4 system more similar to Georgias, and he began the adjustment to outside linebacker.
Still, its raw ability that Floyd is showing off thus far in preseason practice. He smiled when asked what he brings to the field.
Speed, Floyd said. All day. Every day.
That definitely describes him, said Jordan Jenkins, the sophomore outside linebacker who had five sacks last year. Hes got the height and the length. Im not gonna describe his move, but hes got a move that definitely works for his height and his length. Hes definitely gonna be ebbing and flowing on the field. Hes got some good skills that I dont have thats gonna make him shine this year, too.
What skills that Jenkins doesnt have?
Cant give it away yet, Jenkins said with a grin. Youre gonna have to wait and see.
Floyd has been doing this, by the way, while wearing a club on his left hand, the result of thumb surgery. He said the bigger club is supposed to come off Tuesday, and hell get a smaller one.
And then when the season opener at Clemson rolls around, Floyd figures to either be starting or splitting snaps with sophomore James DeLoach, the presumed starter after spring practice.
I came in and worked hard, and been doing good, I guess, Floyd said. Really, if you play hard youll end up making a play. I wouldnt say it was easy, but it was OK.

With an increasing number of people choosing to use wireless telephones in their homes over landlines, the question being frequently asked is: Should I keep my landline?
According to the most recent CDC (Center for Disease Control) study on wireless trends, 21 percent of Californians are wireless-only households. (Note: "Wireless" refers to cellular phones, or mobile phones.) Thirty-five percent are dual-use, meaning they have both landlines and wireless phones.
Nationally, 28 percent of households are wireless-only. (The study reflects data collected from 2007- 2010; the statistics quoted here are from July 2009 through June 2010.)
Contrary to the image that Californians have as being ahead of the pack in technology trends, Arkansas leads the country in wireless-only households with 35 percent. Rhode Island and New Jersey had the fewest wireless-only households with 13 percent.
According to Lane Kasselman, AT&T director of communications, California is probably trending toward a higher number of wireless-only homes.
"People are asking themselves if it makes sense to have a powered line running into their house," Kasselman said.
Historically, local telephone corporations, such as AT&T, were required to provide a residential telephone connection even with no customer account attached--also known as a "warm line"--for access to 911 emergency service.
These warm lines were kept running into perpetuity, even if a building was abandoned or a home was vacant. These lines, explained Kasselman, are why when the electrical power goes out in your home, you still have phone service (cordless phones notwithstanding).
"Right now there are approximately two million warm lines in the state and that number keeps growing," said Kasselman. He noted that that the increase is in proportion to the loss of wireline customers.
Legislation enacted in 2010 amended the Public Utility Code to allow the phone company to terminate the warm lines after four months of non-use. "They can be turned on quickly if anything changes," added Kasselman.
It's not just about cost says Kasselman. "As a good corporate citizen, AT&T wants to reduce the amount of energy used to keep these warm lines going." In fact, the cost to local telephone companies to energize and maintain warm lines is the same as for active accounts. Since so many people are now using their cell phones for 911 emergency service, energy provided to a warm line at a residence is a waste of natural resources.
The study also notes that the increasing prevalence of wireless-only households has implications for telephone surveys.
Many political polls, health surveys, and other research studies are conducted using random-digit-dialing (RDD) to landline phones. However, most major survey research organizations are now including wireless telephone numbers when conducting RDD surveys. If they did not, the exclusion of households with wireless-only telephones could bias results.

Hi guys,
My son (2) broke a couple of the speaker grill pegs off when he was messing with my Monitor 70s. He must have been wiggling the grill so the peggs broke and are stuck in the peg hole. I cannot grip it with anything to pull them out. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting them out without damaging the speakers?

Summary | Excerpt | Reading Guide | Reviews | Beyond the book | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
A sparkling bildungsroman about friendship and betrayal, art and race.
In 1988, Eric Cho, an aspiring writer, arrives at Macalester College. On his first day he meets a beautiful fledgling painter, Jessica Tsai, and another would-be novelist, the larger-than-life Joshua Yoon. Brilliant, bawdy, generous, and manipulative, Joshua alters the course of their lives, rallying them together when they face an adolescent act of racism. As adults in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the three friends reunite as the 3AC, the Asian American Artists Collective - together negotiating the demands of art, love, commerce, and idealism until another racially tinged controversy hits the headlines, this time with far greater consequences. Long after the 3AC has disbanded, Eric reflects on these events as he tries to make sense of Joshua's recent suicide.
With wit, humor, and compassion, The Collective explores the dream of becoming an artist, and questions whether the reality is worth the sacrifice.
There's a road in Sudbury, on the outskirts of Boston, called Waterborne. Famous for the great blue herons that nest there, the road cuts through the immediate floodplain of the Sudbury River. It's lined with red maple, white oak, and dead ash yellows, long ago decimated by a virus. It curves and dips, wending through hills and an alluvial marsh, rising once again past meadows and farmland, then descending in a series of hairpin turns. It's a beautiful road - smooth, continuous, unsullied by houses or businesses - and therefore popular with bikers, runners, and drivers in a hurry. To no one's surprise, hardly a month goes by without some sort of accident on Waterborne.
It was around three o'clock on a Saturday afternoon in late September 2008, partly cloudy and unseasonably warm at seventy-six degrees, the tincture of fall edging the flora. Joshua Yoon, thirty-eight, was on his afternoon run on Waterborne, hugging the road's left edge so he could watch for approaching cars. He ...
Lee has also mentioned that he wants to shed light on how Asian Americans wrestle internally with race. Sometimes The Collective wears this agenda on its sleeve too readily, but it serves as a must-read for everyone interested in the discussion of racial identity and its place in our supposedly post-racial world. Even if these issues can be answered internally within an individual race, even if a minority artist can move beyond the confines dictated by the stereotypes of his racial identity, one question still looms large: Will society as a whole welcome it? Coming from a gifted writer like Lee, the answer, we hope, will most definitely be yes.
(Reviewed by Poornima Apte).
Full Review (981 words).
In The Collective, the characters Eric Cho, Joshua Yoon, and Jessica Tsai form a shaky coalition called the 3AC - Asian American Artists Collective. A similar organization was founded in New York around twenty years ago: The Asian American Writers' Workshop.
This non-profit organization works to spread the growth of literature by Asian American writers, remove cultural stereotypes, and promote a dialog that values the place of Asian Americans in contemporary American society.
The workshop got its beginnings when nearly a half-dozen Asian American writers got together at a diner in Brooklyn, NY and talked about the explosion in literary efforts by fellow citizens. They founded the workshop as a means of encouraging and nurturing ...

A New Look for Yast
The Opensuse project is collecting ideas for a visual rework of the Yast management tool.
According to Yast developer Stefan Hundhammer, the motivation for the new design is the icon overload, unclear categories or disambiguation of individual modules. Usability surveys and mailing lists had revealed the issues. Now, the project is looking for a completely new view: "There might be more options than just cramming loads of tiny picitures into a window", says Hundhammer. Suggestions are welcome.
The Yast Control Center today: too many icons, unclear tasks, say users and developers at Opensuse.
Thomas Göttlicher from Suse called for people to join in with collecting ideas for a new Yast on the Opensuse mailing list. As this launched a major discussion that extended the focus and even touched on projects for reprogramming Yast, Yast developer Stefan Hundhammer had a second attempt, emphasizing that the issue was simply one of redesigning the Qt interface for the Yast Control Center.
Results of a brainstorming session among Yast developers. The modules below miscellaneous do not fit in any category at present.
There has already been a workshop on sorting the modules (Card Sort Study). And the Opensuse Wiki page for the new Control Center documents a variety of proposals and ideas for implementation.
The team is looking for new ideas. This proposal shows a related objects feature.

To assist States with the implementation of Article 9 and Part 3 of the Technical Annex, in 2009 the then Coordinator on Generic Preventive Measures, Colonel Jean-Christophe Le Roux of France, developed a questionnaire which serves as a checklist for States to consider when they are developing procedures, guidelines or regulations on the implementation of generic preventive measures. The checklist has been reproduced in full below. It can also be found in Protocol V document CCW/P.V/CONF/2010/6/Add.1, 11 November 2010. Essentially the checklist is a tool to facilitate the implementation of generic preventive measures. While it does not have any legal status, it is hoped that the checklist will clarify various issues, establish best practises and serve to monitor and improve the implementation of generic preventive measures at the national level.

Qualification work
(a) Does the qualification program (testing and simulation) cover all military and technical requirements and have the data been recorded and been used to assess the UXO rate and to manage them during the conflict?
(b) Does the qualification program (testing and simulation) have sufficient statistical validity to allow a reliable evaluation of the reliability and safety of munitions in all operational environments?
(c) Is there a safety assessment report which covers all safety aspects (UXO included) for the entire lifecycle?

"For Michael Sandel, justice is not a spectator sport," The Nation's reviewer of Justice remarked. In his acclaimed book—based on his legendary Harvard course—Sandel offers a rare education in thinking through the complicated issues and controversies we face in public life today. It has emerged as a most lucid and engaging guide for those who yearn for a more robust and thoughtful public discourse. "In terms we can all understand," wrote Jonathan Rauch in The New York Times, Justice "confronts us with the concepts that lurk . . . beneath our conflicts."

Professor Michael J. Sandel previews his series and book "Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do?", taken from his popular course at Harvard University.
Check out the first episode of the twelve-part WGBH and PBS series on Professor Sandel and his legendary course at Harvard.
Listen to this audiobook excerpt and hear Michael J. Sandel read from his book Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do? What are our obligations to others as people in a free society? Should government tax the rich to help the poor? Is the free market fair? Is it sometimes wrong to tell the truth? Is killing sometimes morally required? Is it possible, or desirable, to legislate morality? Do individual rights and the common good conflict?
These questions are at the core of our public life today—and at the h
"Listen to Michael Sandel discuss his book Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do? in a live teleforum with readers. In November 2010, FSG produced a live, nationwide call with Professor Sandel and his readers. He discussed the ideas of moral philosophy underlying current political debates.

"Sandel dazzles in this sweeping survey of hot topics . . . Erudite, conversational and deeply humane, this is truly transformative reading." —Publishers Weekly, starred review
"A spellbinding philosopher . . . For Michael Sandel, justice is not a spectator sport . . . He is calling for nothing less than a reinvigoration of citizenship." —Samuel Moyn, The Nation
"Michael Sandel, perhaps the most prominent college professor in America, . . . practices the best kind of academic populism, managing to simplify John Stuart Mill and John Rawls without being simplistic. But Sandel is best at what he calls bringing 'moral clarity to the alternatives we confront as democratic citizens' . . . He ends up clarifying a basic political divide—not between left and right, but between those who recognize nothing greater than individual rights and choices, and those who affirm a 'politics of the common good,' rooted in moral beliefs that can't be ignored." —Michael Gerson, Washington Post
"Justice, the new volume from superstar Harvard political philosopher Michael Sandel, showcases the thinking on public morality that has made him one of the most sought-after lecturers in the world." —Richard Reeves, Democracy
"Hard cases may make bad laws, but in Michael Sandel's hands they produce some cool philosophy . . . Justice is a timely plea for us to desist from political bickering and see if we can have a sensible discussion about what sort of society we really want to live in." —Jonathan Ree, The Observer (London)
"Every once in a while, a book comes along of such grace, power, and wit that it enthralls us with a yearning to know what justice is. This is such a book." —Jeffrey Abramson, Texas Law Review
"Using a compelling, entertaining mix of hypotheticals, news stories, episodes from history, pop-culture tidbits, literary examples, legal cases and teachings from the great philosophers—principally, Aristotle, Kant, Bentham, Mill and Rawls—Sandel takes on a variety of controversial issues—abortion, same-sex marriage, affirmative action—and forces us to confront our own assumptions, biases and lazy thought. Sparkling commentary from the professor we all wish we had." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"Michael Sandel is . . . one of the world's most interesting political philosophers. Politicians and commentators tend to ask two questions of policy: will it make voters better off, and will it affect their liberty? Sandel rightly points out the shallowness of that debate and adds a third criterion: how will it affect the common good?" —Guardian
"Michael Sandel transforms moral philosophy by putting it at the heart of civic debate . . . Sandel's insistence on the inescapably ethical character of political debate is enormously refreshing." —Edward Skidelsky, New Statesman
"A remarkable educational achievement . . . Generations of students and educated citizens will be very well served by Sandel's introductory overviews." —Amitai Etzioni, Hedgehog Review
"Reading Justice by Michael Sandel is an intoxicating invitation to take apart and examine how we arrive at our notions of right and wrong . . . This is enlivening stuff. Sandel is not looking to win an argument; he's looking at how a citizen might best engage the public realm." —Karen R. Long, Cleveland Plain Dealer
"A road map for negotiating modern moral dilemmas . . . For those seeking a short course through moral philosophy from a witty writer, fast on his feet, and nimble with his pen, this thin volume is difficult to beat." —Kevin J. Hamilton, Seattle Times
"Michael Sandel, political philosopher and public intellectual, is a liberal, but not the annoying sort. His aim is not to boss people around but to bring them around to the pleasures of thinking clearly about large questions of social policy. Reading this lucid book is like taking his famous undergraduate course 'Justice' without the tiresome parts, such as term papers and exams." —George F. Will, syndicated columnist
"Justice is Sandel at his finest: no matter what your views are, his delightful style will draw you in, and he'll then force you to rethink your assumptions and challenge you to question accepted ways of thinking. He calls us to a better way of doing politics, and a more enriching way of living our lives." —E. J. Dionne, syndicated columnist

Today, July 11, is National Collector Car Appreciation Day across the U.S. That means...
Twin-turbo Ferrari 458 Italia takes on the Lamborghini LP-700-4 Aventador: Video
Exotic-car tuner Underground Racing from North Carolina prepared a Ferrari 458 Italia with a "bolt-on" twin-turbo system, boosting engine output to 700 hp.
For comparison, the tuner matched the blown Ferrari against a Lamborghini LP-700-4 Aventador and its naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12, rated at 700 hp.
"We were interested to see how they stacked up against each other after seeing a twin-turbo Gallardo almost get beat by an Aventador," Underground Racing president Kevin Howeth said. "[In the] first race, the Aventador driver didn't hear the horn beeps of the Ferrari, so the Ferrari got the hit. The second race, the Aventador got the hit."

Technology experts say the website for the federal health care exchange uses 10-year-old technology which needs constant monitoring and may eventually need to be overhauled.
USA Today reports there have been improvements made, but it still requires the user to clear the computer's cache and turn off a pop-up blocker among numerous other fixes in order to avoid getting an error message.
"I have never seen a website — in the last five years — require you to delete the cache in an effort to resolve errors," said Dan Schuyler, a director at health care group Leavitt Partners.
Officials at the Department of Health and Human Services would not talk about the nature of the problems, but reiterated that wait times have gone down as they work to fix the system.

Most horror films that hail from "familiar" locations (such as the U.S., Canada, and the UK) are packed to the rafters with conventions and cliches that we recognize on a subconscious level: vampires and black cats, pumpkins and werewolves, etc. Our most beloved of scary stories can feel as familiar to us Santa Claus, and these components add a lot of flavor to terror flicks as varied as Trick or Treat and Rosemary's Baby.
And that's great. But what's even cooler is delving into an indie horror film from an exotic part of the globe, one that tosses you in amongst a bunch of legends, creatures, and iconic images that we don't know all that well. I believe that's part of the reason why Spanish and Japanese horror films always seem to find a loyal audience among the genre fans -- and it's also part of the reason I enjoyed Colm McCarthy's Outcast as much as I did.
The movie has its fair share of indie-style shortcomings (a few of the actors are a bit raw, the editorial style occasionally leaves one confused) but it earns big points for taking a big batch of "foreign" horror stories and then wedging them into a fast-paced import that's a lot more fun than it sounds.
Both the story and the scares arrive at an impressively brisk clip, and as such I'll keep the synopsis brief (and vague): A teenage boy and his (wildly) over-protective mother have recently moved in to a small Scottish village -- and right away we can tell there's something "off" about this pair. They could be a devilish duo with a creepy mother-son relationship, or they could be the prey of a tracker called Cathal, a brutal pursuer who taps into dark magic to track down his quarry. (Let's just say there's some dark magic in play on both sides of the story.)
Then there's this local girl who starts up a tentative relationship with young Fergal as Cathal, meanwhile, has to deal with the village elders if he wants permission to hunt "the beast" that's roaming the countryside. So while Outcast is a fairly plot-heavy affair (and one that, admirably, doesn't hold your hand), it's also a rather fascinating little terror tale that, to its credit, tosses something creepy, icky, or weird at you every fifteen minutes. One can't help but think the film would be a bit more compelling if the viewer has a little bit of knowledge regarding Irish ghost stories and dark Celtic mythology -- but I know next to nothing about that stuff, and still Outcast kept me pretty damn interested throughout.
There's a lot going on here, in other words, and the fact that Outcast comes from an ancient culture with exotic accents just makes the film all the more colorful. Old-school horror fans will appreciate that Outcast is a monster movie, a murder mystery, and a Polanski-style tale of strange emotional ties that gradually unravel in several unpleasant ways. The flick is supported by strong leads in Hanna Stanbridge and Niall Bruton; Kate Dickie is effortlessly chilling as the possessive mother; and James Nesbitt adds a lot of gruff intensity as one of the two beast-trackers.
First-time feature director Colm McCarthy almost has more ideas here than he knows what to do with, but his extensive experience in television work seems to have served him well in Outcast. Even when the flick is at its least accessible and slightly confusing, it moves forward at a very brisk clip while delivering an Irish / Scottish / Celtic-inspired horror mash-up that's equal parts intelligent, engaging, and unexpectedly creepy.
