Making the web more awesome: Karen McGrane on the big web show this week
Karen McGrane, designer of The New York Times website and managing parter at Bond Art + Science is our guest on Episode #25 of The Big Web Show, taped live before an internet audience at 1:00 PM ET Thursday, 28 October at live.5by5.tv.
We will discuss putting publications online (Karen has worked with The Atlantic, The Week, Fast Company, and Conde Nast, and just launched National Journal), the horrifying state of content management, careers in web design and development, running a design business, teaching UX and design, and the explosive web and interaction design scene in New York City, where Karen has long been a major player.
If the internet is more awesome than it was in 1995, Karen would like to claim a very tiny piece of the credit. For more than 15 years Karen has helped create more usable digital products through the power of user experience design and content strategy. Today, as Managing Partner at Bond Art + Science, she develops web strategies and interaction designs for publishers, financial services firms, and healthcare companies.
Prior to starting Bond, Karen built the user-centered design practice at Razorfish in her role as VP and National Lead for User Experience. Karen is also on the faculty of the MFA in Interaction Design program at SVA in New York, where she teaches Design Management, which aims to give students the tools they need to run successful projects, teams, and businesses.

Filth & Glory. NYC in the 70s.
These and numerous other unforgettable images are available in DIRTY, DANGEROUS & DESTITUTE | NEW YORK IN THE 70s: Photos by Allen Tannenbaum at The Selvedge Yard.
Hat tip: Ara Pehlivanian
Many people still think NYC is this way. It ain't. I visited NYC as a wide-eyed teenager during this era and met pederasts, opium dealers, and prostitutes without even trying. I visited again as a young man at the end of the decade, goggly over the music scene (which was already packaged and dying).
When I finally moved to NYC in 1988, large parts of it were still pretty ragged. You could cop dope behind The New York Public Library and get shot on Avenue B. You could also accidentally start a fire in your apartment and not get kicked out. Or so I have, uh, read.
For all the dings on his soul, Rudy G really changed this town. He made it much more expensive but also much, much safer and more livable. Today it is one of the safest and most beautiful cities in America. A lot of change in a short time.

When I moved to this teeming borough of painters, drunks, junkies, queers, nudie photographers, novelists, girlfriend-supported guitarists, bikers, drummers, sax players, gang members, and ad folk, I little imagined that it would one day be considered a safe, boring island of stockbrokers, playing straight man to Brooklyn's hipster.

Ready For My Closeup
DanielByrne [warning! Flash site with JavaScript auto-expand full-screen window] came to Happy Cog's New York office to shoot me for an upcoming feature story in .Net Magazine, "the UK's leading magazine for web designers and developers."
What can I say? I'm a sucker for the gentle touch of a make-up pad. Or of anything, really. I love this photo (shot by Byrne with my iPhone) because it captures the fact that I'm still really a four-year-old. It also shows what a genuine photographer can do with even the humblest of tools.

Fast high-speed access for NYC internet professionals
I'm home watching a sick kid and waiting for Time Warner Cable to come make a third attempt to install a cable modem. If you're good at math, that means Time Warner Cable, the market leader in my city, has twice failed to install the correct cable modem in my home.
Because the web never sleeps, even web professionals who work in an office need reliable high-speed access when they are at home. Speakeasy provided that service via DSL in our old apartment (our previous DSL provider having been wiped out, literally, on September 11, 2001), but, as documented in old posts on this site, it took two months of comedic mishap for Speakeasy to get our home DSL working. And after Best Buy bought Speakeasy, it became harder and harder to contact the company's technical support people to resolve service problems—of which there were more and more. By the time we moved out of our old apartment in December, 2007, frequent gapping and blackouts made our 6Mb Speakeasy DSL service more frustrating than pleasant to use.
The monopoly wins the bid
So when we moved to the new apartment, we decided to immediately install cable modem access as a baseline, and then secure reliable DSL access for redundancy. Time Warner Cable had set up a deal with our new building, and no cable competitor was available to service our location (you read that right), so the Time Warner got the gig. They came quickly and the system worked immediately. The digital HD cable fails once a week, probably due to excessive line splitting, but that's another story, and we don't watch much TV, so it doesn't bug us, and it isn't germane here.
Unwilling to repeat the failures and miscommunications that marked our Speakeasy DSL installation, I went ahead and had Time Warner Cable set up the wireless network. It costs extra every month, and Time Warner's combination modem/wireless/Ethernet hub isn't as good as the Apple Airport devices I own, but it makes more sense to pay for a system that's guaranteed to work than to waste billable hours debugging a network.
Due to the thickness of our walls, the wireless network never reached our bedroom, but otherwise everything was hunky-dory. Within a few days of moving in, we had reliable, wireless, high-speed internet access. Until Time Warner told us otherwise.
The notice
Last spring we received a form letter from Time Warner stating that they'd installed the wrong modem, and that we were not getting the service we'd paid for. Apparently this was true for all customers who chose the service. Some of our money was refunded, and we were advised to schedule a service appointment or come to the 23rd Street office for a free replacement modem.
I went to the 23rd Street office, took a number, and within about fifteen minutes I was sitting in front of a representative. I showed him the form letter and requested the new modem.
He asked me for my old modem.
I said I hadn't brought it, and pointed out that I hadn't been instructed to bring it.
We both reread the form letter.
"It's implied," the rep said.
"Implied?" I said.
"Sure," he said. "If we're going to give you a new modem, of course we'll want your old modem."
I guess it was implied. But it wasn't stated. And when you charge an installation fee, a hardware fee, and a monthly service fee, and then give people the wrong modem, you probably shouldn't rely on inference in your customer support copy. To avoid compounding your customer's frustration, you should probably be absolutely explicit.
I didn't say these things to the rep, because he didn't write or approve the copy or send the wrong modem to all those homes. I left empty-handed and continued to use the modem we had. There didn't seem to be anything wrong with it. Whatever the poorly written form letter had to say about it, as a customer, I didn't have a problem with the modem.
A visit from a professional
As summer ended, Time Warner Cable sent me a new form letter. This time I was told, rather darkly, that if I failed to replace my modem, I definitely would not get the service I was paying for. Indeed, my service level would somehow be lowered, although it appeared that I would continue being billed a premium price.
So I called Time Warner, arranged a service visit, and spent the day working at home.
Around the middle of the service window, a Time Warner Cable authorized technician showed up with a regular DSL modem (not a wireless modem).
"You have wireless?" he asked in amazement.
"Yes," I said. "Doesn't it say that on your service ticket?"
"Hey, I'm just a consultant. I don't work for Time Warner Cable," he helpfully informed me.
"So are you going to get a wireless router from your truck?" I offered after a pause.
"I don't have those," he said.
We looked at each other for a while, and then he said, "Besides, you don't need to replace your modem. There's nothing wrong with it."
"Come again?"
"There's nothing wrong with your modem. You don't need to replace it," he said.
Then he called someone to inform them that he hadn't swapped modems.
Then he asked me to sign a form.
"What am I signing?" I asked. "That you didn't do anything?" I said it more politely than it reads.
"You're signing that I was here," he said. So I did.
That evening, as I was bathing my daughter, Time Warner Cable called to ask if I was satisfied with the experience.
I said frankly I was confused why I'd had to stay home all afternoon for a service visit on a modem that didn't need to be replaced.
The nice lady said she would talk to her supervisor and run some tests.
I was on hold about five minutes, during which my daughter found various ways of getting water out of the tub and onto me.
The nice lady came back on and said, "I'm sorry, sir, but we just ran tests, and you do have the wrong modem. We'll need to send someone out."
So here I am, two weeks later, waiting for a technician to come try again. Will this one bring the right hardware? The suspense is awesome.
Although New York is a leading creator of websites and digital content, the town's home and office internet connectivity lag behind that of practically every other U.S. city. Two factors account for it:
- An aging infrastructure. It's hard to deliver best internet services over a billion miles of fraying, overstretched, jerry-rigged copper line.
- Monopoly. How hard would you try if you had no real competitors?
In future installments, I'll discuss our adventures securing high-speed access to our studios at Happy Cog New York, and discuss the pros and cons of Verizon home DSL.

Housing Works not only saves lives, it restores dignity, purpose, and hope to those whom society has cast aside. Happy Cog is honored and humbled to have worked with this amazing organization and to announce the relaunch of the Housing Works website, redesigned by Happy Cog.

Great product! Well built and looks great. Really easy to clean. Some people might not like not having any real grip on the handle but i like it

Almost too nice to use, I just like to hold it, cheap given how well made it is.
Aurora, CO
This ratchet rocks. I have a half dozen different brands of ratchets and this is the one I reach for every time. Easy to clean. The ergonomics are stellar. You can really put some pressure on these without hurting your hand. I highly recommend this ratchet. Great value!
Newark, OH
via sears.com
This Craftsman ratchet is a bit expensive but I think well worth it. This fine tooth ratchet allows you to use it in places with limited movement. Its long handle gives you the leverage needed to loosen and tighten larger bolts and nuts. Its highly polished service is both a thing of beauty and easily wipes clean when the job is finished.

I have the 1/4 drive, the 3/8 drive and now the 1/2 drive. This is a superb tool. It is only comparable to Snap-On in quality. This is a well made American tool.
Santa Fe, NM
via sears.com
This is a great ratchet. I have this 1/2" ratchet as well as the 3/8" premium one. I also have the Snap On S80A 1/2" as well. This premium Craftsman ratchet competes with the Snap On ratchets. There are some differences between them though. As far as handle design, the Craftsman premium handle is better than the Snap On one. The feel of the cross force handle and the leverage you can put on it makes it better than the Snap On's handle. The 84 teeth used in the Craftsman ratchets is the finest tooth design ever sold by Sears. The Snap On's have 80 teeth. The Snap On's, despite having 4 less teeth, are still smoother than the Craftsman. The Craftsman premium ratchets are a great ratchet and with the lifetime warranty can come in handy if something ever goes wrong. The Snap On's lifetime warranty is great if you're a shop and the truck guy comes by on a regular basis. However, my Sears is 7 minutes away and is less $ money spent!

Business Service Companies Becoming Interesting
Chris is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
In this post I wanted to highlight two business service companies that are looking very attractive as the economy recovers and business activity begins to pick up.
First I would like to highlight Deluxe Corp (NYSE: DLX). The Company operates in three segments: Small Business Services, Financial Services, and Direct Checks. Its Small Business Services segment has provided products and services to over 4 million small business customers and its Direct Checks segment has provided products and services to more than 8 million consumers. If it's printed, deposited, or mailed/handed out, Deluxe Corp can do it. From their most recently quarterly report revenue grew 6% over the prior year, small business services revenue grew 11%, checks and forms performed well and marketing solutions and other services revenue grew 26% over the prior year. All of this points to a rebounding economy and a company well poised to take advantage of it.
Beyond just the economy the company is also well managed. They have worked to make large expense reductions and have refinanced some of their long term debt out to 2020, this will reduce interest expenses and remove any liquidity uncertainty. The stock is up 44% over the past 52 weeks, but I believe as we get further into 2013 you'll see the pace of the economic recovery start to quicken and this stock will continue to rise.
The next company I wish to highlight could not be a more different story. Pitney Bowes (NYSE: PBI) has done nothing but gone down the past few years and has had annual revenue declines every year since 2008. This is unsurprising when you discover that they make equipment designed to facilitate office mail. The US Post office is always complaining about double digit declines in mail and this has no doubt impacted Pitney Bowes bottom line. If you've ever gone to an office mail room and used the machine that prints a pre-sorted first class stamp on a letter (very quickly I might add), that's the work of Pitney Bowes.
My rationale for recommending Pitney Bowes is a little different however. While I do believe that any increase in economic activity while be beneficial, I understand that Pitney Bowes still has work to do to overcome the consistent decline of mail by companies. Two things however are in their favor. First, the expectations by the street are rock bottom. We saw this when the stock jumped nearly 20% after they posted their Jan 31 earnings release. Second, they are currently yielding over 10%.
Normally when you see a company yielding double digits (and its peers are nowhere close) you think this is a stock who's share price has dropped precipitously and has had their fundamentals eroded to where the dividend can't be sustainable.
Many people believed that this was the case with Pitney Bowes and their $0.375 quarter dividend. Most of the jump on earnings day was shorts covering their position because the company reaffirmed their dividend (the ex-date is Feb 15 for those looking to earn a cash payout) and highlighted that they still generate ample amounts of free cash flow from operations. Pitney Bowes can easily afford to pay its dividend from this cash flow. Pitney Bowes generated full year 2012 free cash flow of $769M, while dividend payments were only $300M. Basically, the dividend is here to stay, so while I do expect the drops in revenue to stabilize (and maybe even turn positive), the bigger attraction is the large (and safe) dividend. As investors catch on to this, I do not expect the yield to stay at 10%. The share price will be bid up to bring it back to a more appropriate level.

(WMC-TV) - Sharing the road with drivers in Memphis can be dangerous and deadly. According to Memphis police, there were almost 28,000 wrecks in the city last year, and 78 deaths.Many Memphis drivers blame those accidents on bad habits, and a new website gives drivers a place to vent their frustrations – off the road and online.Taylor Peck is the founder of Driver-Ratings.com, a website that lets you anonymously post a license plate number and rate a driver's habits with words, pictures or video. "Basically, it's a non-violent outlet for people to log on and post reviews of other drivers," Peck said.The site, which already boasts 100,000 driver reviews, rates drivers nationwide. But according to Peck, Memphis drivers love sounding off online. "The Memphis area is one of our top rated cities as far as the amount of traffic we get and the amount of reviews that drivers are posting about other drivers," he said.The site's popularity may not be surprising, but the online reviews aren't all bad. In fact, according to Peck, 40 percent of the reviews on his site are positive thoughts about other drivers."An off duty police officer stopped on his way home from work and helped a woman change a tire in a hundred degree heat," Peck read from one review.But can a website change the rules of the road? Peck has high hopes."Let's stop having violent outbursts when it comes to road rage," he said. "Just go home, log on to the website, and leave a review."Peck wants Driver-Ratings.com to serve as a wake up call to drivers everywhere. To visit the site, click here: http://www.driver-ratings.com

Connecting the Dots for a Better World
In a high-tech world, where automation is liberating us from monotonous and often painful jobs and labor and at the same time is providing abundance, one must begin to question and rethink how we could and should conduct ourselves here on Earth and what really matters.
A study done by World Hunger Education Service Associates reveals that our world produces enough food to feed everyone, but that the principal problem is that many people in the world do not have sufficient land to grow, or income to purchase, enough food. http://www.worldhunger.org/articles/Learn/world%20hunger%20facts%202002.htm
A MIT report shows that we have 4000 years of untapped clean and renewable geothermal energy that can easily meet the energy needs of tomorrow. http://geothermal.inel.gov/publications/future_of_geothermal_energy.pdf On top of that we have solar, wind, wave, tidal and piezoelectric energy sources as well.
So, instead of counting money (as we do today), which has no relevance to the physical world, what if we focused on counting the balance of Earth's resources? By applying the scientific method for decision-making thus social concern and thus intelligently manage and allocate our finite natural resources based on the carrying capacity of Earth, we could easily create a sustainable planet keeping abundance high, eliminating poverty, decreasing nearly all crimes and violence as a result of eliminating poverty, and move innovation beyond traditional employment thus increasing our quality of life at an exponential rate.
OK, but how could one possibly be able to count and track Earth's resources at any given time maintaining a high abundance for all? Let's visualize it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=fSxIT3LixaE
The laws of nature, the way I see it, is the only real true government and regulatory system that has or will ever exist.

Oct 12 2012: I didn't know what 'Natural Law' (NL) was. I had to look it up. It seems that it's defined as laws found in nature, therefore universally applicable, with human reason being the guidance for human morality. You then referred to 'scientific method' (SM) as the basis for decision making in regards to our limited natural resources. Reasoning for moral development has therefore become SM for resource management. But SM, by definition, does not include morality as a component of its method. SM is measurements observed and conclusions deduced in repeatable patterns. It would seem that nature would not be so constrained by such limiting human methodology. Although SM has produced many wonders and is responsible for our progressive way of life, it has produced nearly as many disasters and abominations - I believe precisely because it is without morality. I would argue therefore that SM is now only a tool for discovery, not a determinate of decision-making. Also, we are learning through science, experience, and historical results that much of what we understood of nature is insufficient for new realities. This is throwing our morality into turmoil. So our concept of NL is insufficient, our morality is in turmoil, and SM is not a good determiner of decision-making or, certainly, 'social design'. This is not a good foundation to build a new economy on. In my humble opinion, we need new methods of moral development, new wisdoms gleaned from nature and our expanding knowledge of our universe, to create new wholistic directions of social and economic evolution. NL and SM got us to where we are, but are not enough to get us where we're going.
Oct 14 2012: I feel we need to transcend the concept of morality and simply accept our natural laws and live within those boundaries, if we are to have a slightly chance to survive as a species. It all comes back to the question of what really matters. Do we want to end poverty and human suffering or do we want to be "free" to buy anything we want on the cost of others? If we aspire towards the first, morality would be naturally designed into a new social design within the boundaries of the physical world. The only way to do just that is to apply the scientific method for all societal decision, in order to maintain sustainable, if that is something we desire of course.
Oct 15 2012: Thank you for responding. I think we want the same thing, but disagree on the approach. For me, scientific method is too limited a technique for humanistic and moral (read: social) objectives. Combined with natural law, we would have reason, our current understanding of how nature works (no matter how limited or ultimately inaccurate), and 'measurement' for social decision-making. Is it not reasonable that survival of the fittest (current natural law) and competitive self-determination (current economic theory) is a successful wealth generating system? Scientifically speaking it is, but morally reprehensible on distributive grounds. But our current understanding of morality is impotent anyway. Most critics of 'injecting' morality into social decision making feel that we cannot impose arbitrary morality across cultural lines - that it's a 'personal' decision. Our current capabilities with scientific method are great for manipulating our physical universe, but completely inadequate for determining our direction as humans. So we need something more. I believe we are on the verge of a transformation unlike any before. And just like we can't use a hammer to build or repair a super-computer, current moral and scientific capabilities are inadequate for the future direction of our society. But that's me...
Oct 26 2012: I think you are confusing the method, and the misuse of the method. I think this short 15 minute video explains it better than I can. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83LAk3BT7no

• Royal rumble in red
OBAMA SEEKS TO SOOTHE BIG INSURERS - President Obama has summoned health insurance CEOs to the White House today as he attempts continued damage control from the failed launch of his new health-insurance entitlement program. The Hill reports that the insurance executives will be joined by their industry's top lobbyist for the White House huddle that will include senior adviser Valerie Jarrett and Chief of Staff Denis McDonough. Obama partnered with insurance firms to win passage of ObamaCare in 2010, promising to deliver young, healthy customers to the companies to offset costs associated with new regulations forcing them to cover those with preexisting conditions. But the botched launch of the program is proving dire for the industry. Insurers have reported widespread problems in the accuracy of data received as well as low numbers of enrollees.
[President Obama's permanent campaign arm, Organizing for Action, is using the continued problems of ObamaCare's Web site as the basis for a fundraising pitch. Watch Obama's plea here.]
Explaining to do - While Obama is dealing with frustrations from his industry allies, administration officials will be facing the wrath of congressional Democrats who are under fire from the left and right for their support of the program, expected to be the central issue of the 2014 midterms. While Hill Democrats might be placated with promises of urgent action to fix the fouled Web site and sign-up system, the insurance chiefs are likely to be less understanding. If ObamaCare doesn't deliver the millions of desirable customers the president has promised, widespread rate shocks even higher than those already reported could cause more insurers to dump customers and get out of the business altogether.

Montclair TV34 has joined forces with Montclair PBA Local 53, Parents Who Rock, Prudential New Jersey Properties and the many talented and generous local musicians to present Shore Aid – a live event to benefit the victims of super storm Sandy.
The Shore Aid benefit will be held Sunday, December 2, beginning at 12:00 noon in Montclair Municipal Chambers, 205 Claremont Avenue. It will feature music performances, special guests and an auction – all to be televised live on TV34 and streamed on the channel's website, montclair.peg.tv.
Cash and check donations will be accepted at the event, which is open to the public. Tables will be set up to take credit card donations as well. All proceeds will go to benefit victims of Sandy in some of the state's hardest hit shore towns: Seaside Heights; Normandy Beach; Ocean Beaches I, II, III; and Ortley Beach. Those who donate $250 or more will present their checks live on TV34 at the event.
Admission to Shore Aid performances is free, but event sponsors ask that attendees bring a new toy or a gift card to be donated to Operation Jersey Shore Santa – an organization created to bring the holidays to New Jersey families displaced by the storm
Montclair's own Alma Schneider of Parents Who Rock and Take Back the Kitchen is organizing the talent for the Shore Aid benefit. Numerous performers have offered to donate their time and talent to make Montclair's Shore Aid benefit a huge success. The schedule of performances can be accessed here.

An Essex County judge ruled yesterday that the Township of Bloomfield may condemn the Bloomfield train station under eminent domain.
Judge Patrica K. Costello determined that Bloomfield was entitled to condemn the train station for its stated purpose of providing "safe and convenient public access to the NJ Transit platforms."
The town had been trying to buy the property from Howard Haberman, a local developer and land owner. Haberman owns the concrete station and the tower portion of the train station and New Jersey Transit owns the tracks and platform.
Haberman had hoped to develop the property rather than sell it. In July, Haberman's company, Bloomfield Daval Corporation, received notice that the Township had initiated condemnation through eminent domain.
"After many years of making significant contributions to Bloomfield's downtown, I am deeply disappointed that the Township of Bloomfield has chosen to condemn our company's Block 220 train station property rather than work with us to develop a first class restaurant, retail and office complex consistent with my father's vision," Haberman said at the time.
His father, Allen R Haberman, a developer in Essex County, formed Daval in 1964 to acquire Bloomfield's westbound train station. The station was built in 1912 and is on the National and State Historic Registers.
Glenn Domenick, Bloomfield's Director of Community Development, told Bloomfield Patch in September that Howard Haberman had let the station fall into disrepair and "refuse[d] to negotiate in good faith."
The town wants to renovate the station, which sits across from the empty site that will become Glenwood Village, the downtown redevelopment project that will include apartments, retail and restaurant space and a public parking garage.

Want to give a holiday gift to remember? The Sound of Music at Paper Mill Playhouse manages to stay true to the "favorite things" about this magical musical and yet, gives audiences something new to love, too.
Much of what's new comes from Maria. Sure, on the cover of the Paper Mill program, there is the familiar picture of the young Fraulein, with a backdrop of mountains, sporting a blonde hairstyle akin to Julie Andrews iconic pixie coif. Yet, when the curtain opens on the majestic Paper Mill stage, out comes a winsome, lithe, dark-haired Maria, played by Elena Shaddow (glad no one asked her to make her hair blond like poor Friedrich in the movie version).
It's just not the hair that is different. Shaddow's Maria has an energetic, youthful, impish quality with a hint of — dare we say it — defiance. The portrayal works well to connect her with the new generation of Sound of Music fans (like my approving 10-year-old-daughter). And any doubts you have about this Maria disappear when she opens her mouth to reveal an incredible voice. Shaddow brings big, bold, beautiful vocals rendered in a way that appears effortless. Climbing along a craggy mountain (the sets are spectacular, especially the opulent Von Trapp manse), Shaddow's confident, joyful rendition of the title song is one that would have Andrews smiling.

When a superstorm meets a Superfund site you have the potential for a super toxic mess.
Which is why Sen. Frank Lautenberg announced legislation this week that would protect public health by providing emergency funding to contain pollution at Superfund sites following a natural disaster like Superstorm Sandy.
"Flooding and high winds like we saw during Superstorm Sandy can damage Superfund sites and unleash toxic pollution into our air, water and communities. As extreme weather becomes more common, we must take steps to make sure Superfund sites do not present an even greater risk to public health after a storm or disaster," said Lautenberg, who is Chairman of the Environment and Public Works Subcommittee on Superfund, Toxics and Environmental Health.
The "Superfund Emergency Response Act of 2012" would also mandate that the EPA study the vulnerability of Superfund sites to extreme weather events and develop a plan to better protect these sites from natural disasters.
Lautenberg also released a letter to the administrator of EPA Region 2, which includes New Jersey, calling for an additional assessment of Superstorm Sandy's impact on Superfund sites in the state.
New Jersey has the largest number of contaminated sites in the United States. The closest one to Baristaville, the Orange Valley Regional Ground Water site on the Orange/West Orange border, was added to the National Priorities List earlier this year after testing found that the public supply wells at the site contained several toxic chemicals, including PCE (tetrachloroethylene) and TCE (trichloroethylene).

Congratulations to local mom (and my good friend, all the way back from 6th grade in Michigan) Stacie Passon has made her first film, Concussion, and it will compete at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival.
The film, written and directed by Passon and starring Robyn Weigert, is a story of a housewife who changes her life after a blow to the head. The festival will be buzzing about this one, but my lips are sealed.
U.S.A. Today reports, that for the first time, half of the entries are from female directors.

We all know that Montclair residents have interesting points-of-view. And coming up in December, talented and prolific photographer Leslie Granda-Hill, long-time Montclair resident, will be sharing her sometimes quirky and always thought-provoking images from all over New Jersey. Her exhibition at the Montclair Public Library displays photographs that are truly to be found "Only in New Jersey."
The product of several years of Leslie Granda-Hill photographing New Jersey in a way that is unusual and seldom seen, these images capture the diversity of people and places of New Jersey in a style reflective of social documentaries. From clowns to zombie girls to charros, Granda-Hill's cross section of the NJ population is fascinatingly and intimately revealed in both full-color and black-and-white.
"Only in New Jersey" will be on display at the Montclair Public Library through December, but the public is invited to the opening reception on Tuesday, December 4th from 6-8 pm. Join the photographer for light refreshments and take advantage of her presence to discuss her work.
If you're interested in seeing some of Leslie Granda-Hill's work beforehand, take a peek at her galleries at her website. Images from the "Only in New Jersey" exhibition will be for sale at the website as well.

Hundreds of Trayvon Martin supporters paid tribute to the teenager at Fort Mellon Park in Sanford. Martin's parents were in New York for a separate vigil. The candlelight vigil in Sanford was for the community in Central Florida. Through singing and praising, nearly 300 people turned out on Tuesday evening to remember the 17 year old who was shot and killed one year ago."I think this was so necessary for them to even realize that holistically there's a problem here," said Monica May, radio personality from Star Orlando's 94.5 FM. "I think that they're ready to heal and move forward."
Documents, photos, video and audio clips related to the Zimmerman case

Those here brought their hoodies and memories. People of all colors went to the vigil, because those here said the shooting affected all of them."This touches everybody," said Luevern Tillman, a lifelong resident of Sanford. "I see all the different races out here which is good, because it's a part of our history. Sanford, we gotta do a little bit better."After quick remarks and prayers, participants lit candles at the same moment people around the world did the same: 7:15 p.m., the moment Martin was believed to have been killed.A group of community leaders also met with members from the Department of Justice Community Relations team to try to figure out more ways to help those who live in Sanford.

A Chicago mixologist is going Hollywood. His winning cocktail recipe has scored him an invite to the Oscar, and his drink will be served to all the celebrities at the Governor's Ball Sunday night. Adam Seger is the creator of Hum Spirits, and he's been called Chicago's godfather of craft cocktails.
Moet Red Carpet Glamour Cocktail Recipe:
Fill a chilled champagne flute halfway with ice.
Stir 1 ounce of Fresh Squeezed Sour Mix and Hum Botanical Spirit with fresh ice.
Strain into flute to fill halfway.
Top with Moet & Chandon Imperial.
Garnish with a single rose petal.
Continually refresh as you wish with Moet & Chandon Imperial as the champagne will float on top of the Hum Sour, but its effervescence will deliver Hum's heady cardamom and Kaffir lime notes.
Fresh Squeeze Sour Mix Preparation: Combine 1 cup sugar with 1 cup water until sugar is completely dissolved. Add 1 cup fresh lime juice and 1 cup fresh lemon juice and refrigerate.
In its tradition of grandeur and generosity, Moet & Chandon will treat Adam Seger and a guest to an exciting behind-the-scenes Oscar weekend, including a three-night stay at the JW Marriott Los Angeles LA Live, roundtrip airfare on United Airlines, car service, tickets to the Governors Ball Preview Event, red carpet bleacher seats at the Fan Experience Red Carpet Arrival and Viewing Party on Oscar Sunday and access to the official Oscar viewing party at El Capitan.

PLEASANT PRAIRIE, WI (WTAQ) - Authorities in Kenosha County say a 16 year old boy didn't hear the train which hit him, because he was listening to his headphones.
The victim's name hasn't been released.
The incident happened Friday just after 7 a.m.
The teenager was walking on Canadian Pacific Railroad tracks near State Highway 50 in Pleasant Prairie. The train's emergency brakes were used and the warning horn was sounded, but the boy apparently didn't hear.
Emergency responders say he was conscious and alert when they arrived and he was taken to a local hospital, then moved by helicopter to Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital in Milwaukee.

9 Things I'll Miss About Breastfeeding
The time has come for me to give up breastfeeding. Breastfeeding didn't start out being easy for me, and I wasn't sure if I could or even wanted to stick with it. My milk didn't come in for several weeks, and I constantly battled mastitis. Interestingly enough, it wasn't until I started weaning six months into it and dropped down to only two feedings a day that I actually felt like I had a handle on it all. And then I grew to like it, so much that I've surprised myself by making it to the one year mark. But now, this breastfeeding journey must come to an end. And I'm actually going to miss it.

That skin-to-skin contact while we gazed into each others' eyes, is one of the things about breastfeeding I will miss the most. In the process of getting into a rhythm with breastfeeding, we were able to learn about, understand and really bond with one another.

My baby could be agitated, restless or inconsolably crying, but put her to the boob and it was like I had immediately taken her to a place of zen meditation. Breastfeeding has the calming effect on babies that a Swedish Massage to a New Age soundtrack has on us. Present the boob to a breastfeeding baby and all else is forgotten. Catnipple. That's what I like to call it.

Burning Calories
The first six months of breastfeeding gave me so much drama that my boobs could have starred in a made-for-TV-movie. It was nice to know that through it all, I was burning extra calories every day. It's as if your body said, "You endure cracked, bloody nipples, clogged ducts, spontaneously drenching your shirt in public, and you give up your perky, peppy boobs, and I'll help you lose that baby weight."

Feeling So Maternal
Breastfeeding was not easy for me for many months. I wasn't sure I was cut out for it. But when I got into the groove, breastfeeding really helped foster my maternal feelings. Knowing that I could produce milk and feed my baby with it gave me a boost in maternal confidence.

Saving Time and Money
Breastfeeding can be so convenient. You always have built-in bottles ready to go and the temperature is always perfect. No messy powder getting everywhere, no cleaning bottles or sterilizing nipples. No drowsy trips to the kitchen to make a bottle in the middle of the night. And, it's FREE! And "free" never sucks.
That Oxytocin Surge
Oh, that oxytocin. That feel good hormone which is responsible for your milk "let down" is the same chemical that's released in the brain when you fall in love. Makes sense then when I finally got the hang of it, that I would be in a baby love trance for most of every feeding session, writing touching Hallmark cards in my mind.
Having My Body Be So In Tune With My Baby
Having my body so in sync with hers was an amazing thing. Having my milk production naturally adjust to her needs, or to feel the milk let down when I heard my baby cry, and even the feeling of being engorged when I was away or was late with a feeding had me in awe of the human body.

Having Big Jugs
For someone who usually sports peaches, it was nice to sport melons for a while. I can't say I didn't often stare at myself in the mirror, surprised at their size saying things like, "HeLLLOO Ta-tas" or "Holy BAZONGAS, Batman!" Even though they were pumped up with milk, I loved having big knockers.
That Quiet Time
I'll miss that unique quiet time. When you can steal away into the bedroom, and everyone leaves you alone (or is supposed to, anyway), and you can sit in silence and clear your head. It was a time for both baby and I to recharge.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - A state budget measure that's being considered Tuesday would make all high school students take the ACT college entrance exam during their junior years.
The Legislature's Joint Finance Committee will decide whether to recommend the mandate.
Governor Scott Walker and state school Superintendent Tony Evers want 11th graders to take the ACT and the Work Keys exam that evaluates job skills. Those tests would replace the long-running WKCE achievement exam starting in the 2014-15 school year.
The state would pay the $50 cost of taking the ACT.
Also Tuesday, the finance panel will consider a budget proposal to make state employees pay $50 more for health insurance if they smoke.
The Republican Walker says the fee is necessary because smokers have 35 percent higher health care costs than non-smokers. Officials have not said how they would identify those who leave their smokes away from the office.

Illustrated on this Major League Aviation™ t-shirt is the Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallion. The CH-53 was the product of the U.S. Marines "Heavy Helicopter Experimental" competition begun in 1962. Sikorsky's S-65 was selected over Boeing Vertol's modified CH-47 Chinook version. The prototype YCH-53A flew for the first time in 1964. The helicopter was designated CH-53A Sea Stallion and delivery of production helicopters began in 1966. The Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallion is the largest and heaviest helicopter in the United States military. It was developed from the CH-53 Sea Stallion, mainly by adding a third engine, a seventh blade to the main rotor and canting the tail rotor 20 degrees. Sailors commonly refer to the Super Stallion as the "Hurricane Maker" because of the downwash the helicopter generates. It was built by Sikorsky Aircraft for the United States Marine Corps.

Woodworker's Journal
Capacities vary, but both models operate the same way. A single induction motor drawing 15 or 6.2 amps drives the three sanders. A 12"- or 8"-diameter disk is mounted on the opposite end of the machine from the 6" x 48" or 4" x 36" belt, and these spin continuously. The center spindle sander, which has a 5/8" oscillation stroke, can be switched between oscillation, rotation without oscillation or stopped modes. Motor speeds dial up or down, thanks to mechanical variable-speed control. Tool speeds adjust by twisting a dial, and a sliding speed indicator registers the setting.
Each sanding function has its own cast-iron worktable. The outboard tables tip for sanding bevels, and they're outfitted with miter slots. A miter gauge is included. The belt sander swivels from vertical to horizontal for even more versatility or to make way for large spindle sanding tasks.
You'll breathe easier using these machines. Both models have impeller-driven dust collection that draws sanding dust into a fabric collection bag behind the tool.
A starter set of abrasives is included. The spindle sander accepts 1/2" and 1" sanding sleeves and has a metal insert ring for each sleeve size.
The 6" x 12" sander sells for $470, and its smaller brother retails for $390. For more information, call 800-377-7414 or visit www.sears.com/craftsman.

U.S. Rep. Bobby Schilling, R-Colona, raised $617,826 in the third quarter, according to the Federal Election Commission, outpacing Democrat Cheri Bustos, who raised $488,803. The total raised by both campaigns in the 17th Congressional District is now $3.8 million, easily surpassing the $2.8 million raised by former Congressman Phil Hare and Rep. Schilling in the 2010 election. The candidates' money is in addition to that being spent by outside groups on the race. As the campaigns enter the final stretch, Ms. Bustos, of East Moline, had $656,000 cash on hand at the end of the third quarter while Rep. Schilling had$839,000, FEC reports released Tuesday showed. "This has always been a grassroots campaign with a grassroots message," a statement from Rep. Schilling said. "I'm proud that most donations to my campaign come from folks in our district." Rep. Schilling raised 43 percent of his contributions from party committees and other political action committees including PACs linked to Burger King, Wal-Mart, Wells Fargo, Exxon Mobil and JP Morgan Chase. "Our campaign is proud to have received support from over 8,000 individuals in this election," said Bustos spokesman Arden Manning. "Congressman Bobby Schilling, however, is backed by big oil and big corporations." Around 25 percent of donations to the Bustos campaign came from party committees and PACS, includingbig donations from unions such as the American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees, the United Steelworkers and the National Education Association, which represents teachers. Both campaigns are investing heavily in producing and running television commercials. As an example of the scale of that spending,Greer Margolis Mitchell Burns, a Washington D.C. firm, received $458,910 for "media buys" from the Bustos campaignin the third quarter.Crossroads Media in Virginia received $417,727 for TV spots from the Schilling campaignover the same period. Outside groups are massively outspending both campaigns. By Tuesday, independent expenditures in the 17th District had hit $5.5 million, according to the FEC. Big spenders include the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and the National Republican Congressional Campaign, the House Majority PAC, which supports Democrats and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which is opposing Ms. Bustos.Third quarter party and PAC contributionsRep. Schilling $266,134 (43 percent)Cheri Bustos $120,000 (25 percent)Third quarter contributions from individuals Rep.

I was among the millions who followed the story of the horrific bombing at the Boston Marathon and the search for and capture of the surviving suspect. The stories I heard and read told of a 20-square-block perimeter set up in Watertown where the residents were told to "shelter in place" while police went house to house to locate on their manhunt.
Yet at the same time there was a call for the entire city of Boston, several miles away, to shelter in place as well. By all accounts, that order was adhered to.

Now that Milan Fashion Week is underway, stars are flocking to the gorgeous Italian city in hopes of seeing the next big thing in apparel.
Kendall Jenner scored yet another big gig, this time walking on Alberta Ferretti's runway as a follow-up to her successful showing in NYC earlier this month.
Going back to her roots, Jennifer Lopez stopped by her old stomping grounds in the Bronx on Thursday (September 18).

It's called the "Motor City" for a reason, and Detroit was taken over by a high-intensity car chase scene as "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" continued production.
In a new fan video, the Batmobile takes off after another car, rounding a sharp corner just beneath some train tracks in an industrial area of town.
Checking up on her work duties, Victoria Beckham stopped by her new flagship store in London, England on Wednesday evening (September 17).
The lovely fashion designer kept it chic, yet casual as she made sure operations were on track before the grand opening of her first store in her former home.

Jumping back on the big screen, Jessica Chastain stars in the first trailer for upcoming crime drama "A Most Violent Year."
Acting alongside Oscar Issac, the Oscar-nominated actress portrays Anna Morales who battles violence and corruption in New York City with her hubby Abel in 1981.
It's no secret that she's had some career advantages because of her family and when Kendall Jenner showed up at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week Spring 2015, her fellow posers were pretty unwelcoming.
The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" reality star was reportedly mistreated by other models throughout the week, though she stuck it out like a pro.
"Never at any point have I sat down and plotted how I should proceed from here on. As soon as you start thinking about your career as a trajectory—like, as if you're going to miss out on some wave or momentum—then you're never doing anything for yourself anyway. Then you're truly, actually, specifically working for the public. You're turning yourself into a bag of chips."

A fresh approach to digital learning
We created a breakthrough name to sit at the intersection of high tech and "high five"
Cengage is a leading provider of innovative teaching, learning and research solutions for the academic, professional and library markets worldwide. Cengage's latest innovation was poised to transform their vast storehouse of electronic learning material including textbooks, encyclopedia articles, and primary source documents into a cloud-based resource that would personalize learning for students and give educators options to customize and design coursework. Making it possible for students to review and mark up articles and other media via computer, tablet or smartphone and allowing educators to track student progress and adapt materials to their lesson plans digitally, Cengage's solution was set to take education into the 21st Century.
Cengage's breakthrough offer warranted a differentiated name and a clear story that would resonate with their sales representatives, customers and consumers. The right name would sit at the intersection of high tech and "high five," balancing the technological aspect of the solution with its intuitive, people-centric features.
Combining a reference to the intellect with an active, humanizing term that evokes technology and implies touch, connection, reach and access, "MindTap" encapsulates the promise and possibilities of a new digital learning tool that allows users to "tap" into an extensive library of apps and academic content "anytime, anywhere."
Launched at a TED conference in early 2011, MindTap represents a fresh approach to online learning, and the name reflects that. While human in its tonality, its "tap" metaphor suggests the breadth and depth of knowledge that this highly personalized digital learning system offers.

Building smarter with nature as a model
It's a new field for humanity, but harnessing solar power is nothing new for sunflowers. And according to Wired, a team of researchers are using them as a model to build a better concentrated solar power plant.
These systems require huge amounts of space — a problem if we're going to increase our reliance on solar power. But the scientists were able to shrink their CSP's footprint by drawing inspiration from the florets, those pod-like structures at the sunflower's center. The team arranged the mirrors so they would be, like the florets, 137 degrees from each other, reducing the necessary room by 20%. (Click through for all the study's nitty-gritty details.)
We love this story, because it illustrates that sometimes, the secret to creativity is simply spotting what translates well into what you're trying to achieve.

Workshops & Institutes
Normandy: Sacrifice for Freedom – The Albert H. Small Student/Teacher Institute
Summer Institute June 21 to July 3, 2014
National History Day announces an exciting and unique summer institute for teachers and students. In June 2014, fifteen student/teacher teams will engage in a rigorous study of D-Day and World War II. Students and teachers will be immersed in lectures presented by leading World War II historians, participate in a scholarly study of the war memorials in the D.C. area and walk in the footsteps of history on the beaches of Normandy. Students will study about and make presentations on various aspects of the Normandy Campaign. The last day in Normandy will be a day of remembrance. The students will lay a wreath at the American Cemetery and present eulogies based on individual pre-institute research of a soldier who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Institute participants will read books in the spring in addition to conducting a historical study of a soldier buried at the American Cemetery in Normandy. Students and teachers should be prepared for at least ten hours of work per week in preparation for the summer institute. View the flyer (PDF)

LOS ANGELES, March 19 (Reuters) -- Movie studio MGM said Tuesday that it expects to release the next James Bond movie within three years and hopes to soon announce a new director, after Sam Mendes decided to move on.
In a conference call with investors, MGM Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Gary Barber said the studio was developing the screenplay for the next, 24th movie in the 50-year-old franchise about the British secret agent.
Bing: Adele to sing second Bond theme?
"We are very excited about the franchise. We look forward to announcing a director soon," Barber said.
"We are currently developing the screenplay and working with our partners. We look forward to developing the script soon and signing a director. We are hoping within the next three years it will be released," he added.
He gave no details on casting, but Daniel Craig has already signed on for two more films in the lead role as the suave 007 agent.
The 2012 Bond film "Skyfall," starring Craig, made $1.1 billion at the global box office and impressed critics. But Britain's Mendes said earlier this month that he wanted to focus on his theater projects for the foreseeable future.
Barber said Mendes "did an amazing job on 'Skyfall'. We are very thankful for the work that he did."
Privately held MGM jointly produced "Skyfall" with Sony Corp's movie studio arm.
MGM said Monday that "Skyfall" and "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" had helped bring a three-fold increase in its 2012 net income.

DETROIT (WKZO) -- A Detroit man suspected of gunning down three members of his own family Friday night has checked himself into a psychiatric unit for a mental exam. Detroit Police say 24-year-old FerDarius Shine reportedly began talking about the Devil and God and made several other incoherent statements before he pulled out a gun and shot his 65-year-old grandmother, his 48-year-old aunt and his own seven-year-old daughter.
The grandmother and aunt died at the scene while the little girl is in critical condition at a Detroit hospital.
The gunman then pedaled away on a bicycle. Shine's mother said her son has mental issues and is on medication. She was in the home at the time of the shooting and was able to get him to put the gun down.
Police are also trying to figure out how a man with such a lengthy history of documented mental illness was able to obtain a concealed weapons permit.
