The Ada News
Ada —
Anyone who drives a car has probably been in this situation—you are already late for something and suddenly you find yourself in a construction zone. It is easy to get frustrated when traffic is crawling along, and many drivers disregard the slower speed limits that are posted for the stretch of road where the work is being done.
Unfortunately, that impatience can easily cause an accident. Those most at risk in those instances are the construction workers who are simply trying to do the job they were hired to do—not make our lives more difficult. The fact is, a total of 57 Oklahoma Department of Transportation employees have been killed in the line of duty, and that is more than any other state agency.
In 2012, 16 people were killed and 838 were injured in 1,431 collisions in Oklahoma work zones, the greatest number of injuries and the third highest number of collisions in the last decade. Since 2003, there has been a 77 percent increase in fatalities and a 149 percent increase in the number of accidents in work zones. Many of these fatalities and injuries were the result of inattentive driving, following too closely and speeding in construction zones.
Here in Oklahoma and throughout the nation, the week of April 15 has been declared Work Zone Awareness Week. Events will be held across the country aimed at educating drivers about work zone safety and remembering the motorists and workers who have lost their lives in work zone collisions.
This year's motto is "Roadway Work Zone Safety: We're All in This Together." Safety tips for work zones include turning on headlights so workers and motorists can see you. Drivers should avoid tailgaiting or speeding, which can lead to accidents. They're also asked to set aside distractions like cell phones or changing radio stations while driving in a work zone. Drivers are also advised to keep up with the traffic flow and avoid changing lanes while in a work zone.
Again, please remember that those road workers are simply doing a job to make Oklahoma roads better and safer for all of us. They have friends and family who would be devastated if someone's carelessness or impatience caused their injury or death---something 57 Oklahoma families already know all too well.
As always, if you have a question about a legislative matter, please do not hesitate to contact my office at (405) 521-5541 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com. It is an honor to serve as your voice at the State Capitol. If I may be of help, please contact me. May God Bless you!

UTA Pollutes. Now, More than Ever with FrontRunner
Give a cheer for those earnest, high polluting, folks over at UTA.
They claim to reduce dangerous pollution.
But, FrontRunner actually makes ozone and fine particulate worse.
UTA lied through their teeth in their environmental impact statements for both FrontRunner extensions by refusing to reveal the huge jumps in NOx they cause.
That is a NEPA requirement. NEPA is National Environmental Policy Act.
After full system developed, FrontRunner trains will likely burn over 4 million gallons of diesel a year.
They will dump an added 400 to 500 tons of NOx into our air each year, (beyond reductions from car/truck emissions and bus "economies").
The big jump in FrontRunner pollution will wipe out many times over whatever small reductions in NOx that might come from new light rail lines.
A similar analysis for UTA Bus-caused NOx was uncovered by the recent legislative audit of UTA. They said that the small reductions in NOx from TRAX and Vanpools was wiped out by a large excess of NOx from buses. (Audit page 85)
"UTA is a net polluter of NOx," the report said. 185 tons of net NOx emissions increase.
Now, thanks to FrontRunner, UTA is an even bigger net polluter of NOx than before, hundreds of tons worse.
There were two Alternatives to diesel-guzzling FrontRunner:
DMU cars. These have small diesel engines in each car and can be linked up into trains. This alternative was rejected while UTA was blinded by its own counting mistakes about the "fantastic" TRAX success. They went for really big capacity.
NOx pollution and diesel consumption 75% less than with locomotive-pulled trains. Over 50% cost savings.
Electric locomotives with electric catenaries (wires) above the tracks, like TRAX.
This was how our fine electric interurban trains on the same route were powered nearly a century ago: Bamberger and
Costs a lot more in the short run, but saves in long run.
Saves burning over 200 million gallons of diesel fuel next 50 years.
Save diesel cost that will greatly exceed $1 billion!
Saves thousands of tons of NOx and pollution.
Saves tens of million$ for expensive diesel locomotive rebuilds and pollution control equipment
UTA got itself into this mess with its eyes wide shut!

The reserve auction has been an eBay character for a very long time, and though it continues to gradually decrease in popularity, there are still times when buyers find themselves bidding on an eBay auction for which a reserve price has been set.
(For those that aren't familiar with the reserve price feature, it is an option applied by sellers to an auction-format listing that excuses the seller from having to sell the item to the highest bidder if the highest bid doesn't reach a secret amount that the seller has supplied to eBay as their "minimum" amount for selling the item. More details are available for those that would like more help understanding reserve auctions.)
Unfortunately the reserve auction is often at the end of the day paired with that least desirable of phrases, "Reserve not met," the phrase that appears on auction listings when the highest bidder has not yet met the seller's reserve price, and the phrase that an appear when you have just placed a bid on a reserve auction.
Here's what to do if you are greeted by this phrase after placing a bid.
If the Auction Still has Much Time to Go
Do nothing.
More specifically, don't bid on another auction listing for the item, assuming that you've not won this one, if you've used eBay's proxy bidding system (be careful, since you may have done this an not even realize it) and your maximum bid hasn't been reached, either. Other bidders could come along before the auction closes and bid against you, with your bid increasing in response to them. If this happens and one of your new bids exceeds the reserve, you are then on the hook for the item in question. If you've bid on another one in the meantime, you could be obligated to buy two of them.
Just as importantly, sellers can and often do return to reserve auctions that aren't performing well or generating as many bids as they would have liked in order to change or remove the reserve price. If this happens, the very same bid that a moment ago did not meet the reserve price may suddenly be the winning bid, and once again if you have bid on another similar item in the meantime and win it, you could end up on the hook for two of them.
Some buyers are tempted to retract their bids if they've bid on a reserve price auction and found that their bid didn't meet the reserve, but for both of the reasons above it's a bad idea to do so. There is also one additional reason for not retracting a bid when your bid didn't meet the reserve price: it's against eBay rules and doing so several times could get you banned from eBay.
If the Auction Has Finished with Reserve Not Met
If the auction has already finished and your bid never reached the seller's reserve price, you still have options. The first of these is to contact the seller and ask him or her if they're willing to sell this item to you at the maximum price that you entered into the eBay proxy bidding system (not necessarily the bid at which the auction closed). Though in a completed listing it's too late to remove or change the reserve price, there is no penalty for relisting the item without one, and eBay provides features to sellers to do just this.
If the seller is willing to do this, they can relist the item with a Buy It Now price at that level, inform you, and make the sale through eBay (to do so outside of eBay is a rules violation that could get them into trouble).
Your other option, of course, is to return to eBay and search for other, similar items that are being sold without a reserve price. This can often be the most desirable option if the item in question is the sort of item for which multiples are likely to be available on eBay, since it allows everyone to avoid the hassle and extra risk of dealing with reserve auctions.

Protein Biochemistry
Research in the Booth lab is directed at understanding structure-function relationships in proteins. Our primary model system for these studies utilizes the expression of a membrane protein, the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), in a yeast host system. In this system, ENaC expression induces a salt-sensitive phenotype of growth inhibition. In humans, ENaC is rate-limiting for sodium reabsorption in the kidneys and essential for maintaining electrolyte balance. Gain- and loss-in-function genetic mutations within ENaC lead to hyper- and hypotension, respectively.

Submitted for the bench: Ray DurhamBy
Via MLBTR comes a Jerry Crasnick story about Ray Durham. The 37-year-old switch-hitting second baseman has fielded no offers this off-season and is mulling retirement. Of note to Yankee fans is the fact that Durham's agent tried to pitch the middle infielder to Brian Cashman. The Yanks, however, according to Crasnick, are "looking for a bounce-back year from Robinson Cano" and turned down Durham.
Now that the Hot Stove League is drawing to a close, a few readers e-mailed us today wondering if the Yanks should revisit Ray Durham not as a potential starting second baseman but as a back-up infielder. He did after all put up a .289/.380/.432 line last year. However, his fielding splits look pretty bad. It might be worth it for the Yanks to toss a non-roster Spring Training invite his way. His should be better than Angel Berroa, but I wouldn't put much weight on Durham in the Bronx.

Play him in CF. All aging infielders can play CF, right?
Putting them out to pasture….
That's a nice way of putting it. Maybe they can let the OF grass grow a bit, so Derek has something to eat out there.
Ugh. Another 30+ yr-old has-been on this team? Pass.
At this point I'd say Ray Durham is less of a has been than Angel Berroa.
nope gruzalanek is the player i want for that bench
I can see why, as his last name is nearly as long as your handle.
I kid, I kid.
nomaas made this suggestion about 2-3 weeks ago. he would be very good off the bench. he can still hit.
[...] players, noting the presence of Mark Grudzielanek, who is an undervalued commodity, as well as Ray Durham, who was one of the better offensive 2B just a few years ago. Now, while I like these options, [...]
The bench really needs work!! Gruzalanek..Durham..Mientkiewicz…Garciaparra..Payton…Vidro
All players who could add "something" to the team
No, Dougy, Vidro, Garciaparra, and Payton I would want no part of.
I actually like Nomar and Vidro. They would only be pinch hitting and maybe starting a couple of times to give rest to other infielders.
A-Rod will come out stronger. I thrive on attention & I have it now. When I was out with the blond in Toronto I had my best year.
This year will put them all to shame & maybe just maybe I'll get some well deserved love.
although Durham would be a nice bat off the bench, having one of Nady-Swisher-Matsui on the bench it's not necessary.
Plus as a bench IF, can he play 2B, SS, 3B? He can barely play 2B so no.
I'm thinking along those lines as well. We'll always have one of Nady/Swisher?Matsui available to pinch hit. While I think Durham is a good bench bat with at least the ability to man 2b as a general proposition, that's not exactly what the yanks need. They'd be better served in my opinion by picking up a strong MI defender
[...] Ben at River Ave Blues reports that the Yankee's had a chance to sign Ray Durham to be a backup middle infielder, but turned it down. [...]
[...] Rodriguez Steroid past brings down future king / 'ALWAYS A CIRCUS' FOR YANKEES ' Submitted for the bench: Ray Durham / Steroids Scandal Could Take Down A-Rod At least Rodriguez won't have to answer questions [...]
I wish Yankee's would pick up Durham. I have watched him since he was in minor league and I think he still has alot of game left! I am sad no one is wanting to pick him up! He is a great guy and a great player!

Dearborn consumers will have a big reason to shop small within the next week: a chance to win one of 160 $25 giftcards, handed out by the Dearborn Area Chamber of Commerce.
The chamber has been selected as one of 50 local partners with American Express and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to promote Small Business Saturday—a nationwide campaign to spur business for local merchants on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
American Express created the concept in 2010 to help small businesses get more exposure between Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Last year, over 100 million people came out to shop at independently-owned small businesses on that day.
This year, Small Business Saturday falls on Nov. 24. And starting Nov. 18, the Dearborn chamber will be giving away $25 American Express Gift Cards to customers throughout Dearborn and Dearborn Heights businesses.
Posts on the chamber's Facebook and Twitter pages will direct shoppers to a particular business, where chamber members will be waiting with the gift cards and other prizes.
Wendy Fichter, director of Small Business Services, explained that the chamber hopes to encourage the winners to spend the gift cards at the local businesses—all of which accept American Express.
"Our goal is to bring new people into the store," she said.
The chamber will host giveaways at two businesses per day on Sunday, Nov. 18, through Wednesday, Nov. 21. They'll host another eight giveaways on Small Business Saturday, Nov. 24.
The first 10 shoppers to show up and say a particular phrase (which will be shared with them on the chamber's Facebook and Twitter accounts) will win the gift cards.
Additionally, American Express will offer a special incentive to small business shoppers: a $25 statement credit offer for cardholders who register their card at ShopSmall.com and spend $25 or more at any qualifying small business that accepts the American Express Card. Members must enroll an eligible American Express Card between Nov. 18-24.
Be sure to follow the chamber on Facebook and Twitter to watch for updates on the giveaway. Dearborn Patch will also be retweeting and sharing the times and locations of the events on our Facebook and Twitter accounts.
To find out more about Small Business Saturday, visit www.shopsmall.com and to find small businesses in the area visit the Dearborn Area Chamber of Commerce website at www.DearbornAreaChamber.org.

Call it a pan-Latino multicultural experience.
As part of a Los Angeles trend that includes the popular Conga Room, the newly opened La Isla del Mambo has restrained itself from identifying with the tradition of any specific Latin American country. Instead, the Melrose Avenue restaurant-club borrows elements from different regions, creating a mood that underscores the most hip elements of Latino culture.

After sending autonomous machines to explore the surface of Mars, engineers at Jet Propulsion Laboratory and around the country are building a robot to venture into equally inhospitable territory--the interior of Chernobyl's exploded nuclear reactor.
The radiation level inside the reactor that melted down 12 years ago this month is so high that it would take only seconds to absorb more radiation than it is safe to be exposed to over an entire year. That makes it prohibitively dangerous for people to explore the severely damaged reactor, which must be thoroughly surveyed before crews can begin sorely needed repair work.

Within days of a video of Middle School students on a field trip praying at a mosque, e-mailed with an accompanying protest from Americans For Peace And Tolerance, broadcast news crews and reporters were paying special attention to Wellesley.
Wellesley Middle School Principal Joshua Frank addressed the situation in a Friday e-mail to parents. "I'm writing to let you know that there were several TV news trucks around the middle school today because of the mosque field trip story. In response, staff focused on minimizing these distractions, acknowledging student concerns and answering questions," he wrote. He said administrators and teachers offered students the opportunity to ask questions about the story in social studies classes, and, "...we did remind students that it is important not to spread rumors when a story like this comes out."
Charles Jacobs, head of Americans for Peace and Tolerance, made the complaint on behalf of an anonymous Wellesley parent, credited with taking the video, but this is not the first time he has clashed with the the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center in Roxbury, where the field trip took place.
Jacobs, who also claims the Islamic Center is a radical influence, opposed the construction of the building, and is a well known foil to Bilal Kaleem, president and director of the Boston chapter of the Muslim American Society and spokesman for the ISBCC. "The group is a very fringe, anti-muslim, islamophobic group," Kaleem said of Americans for Peace and Tolerance.
Jacobs' criticism of a rabbi who spoke in defense of the ISBCC in a Jewish Advocate column was met with a letter signed by 70 rabbis who opposed what they called Jacobs' half-truths and appeals to fear. "That's his own community speaking out against him," Kaleem said. He said he's invited Jacobs to visit the center himself, but has been rebuffed.
Jacobs said he's refused to meet with Kaleem because his organization is routinely 'deceived' by the ISBCC. He claims the Muslim American Society of America, with which the ISBCC is affiliated, is led by Islamic radicals whose public statements are anti-semitic. In 2007, the Boston Phoenix posted a "Don't Quote Me" column by Adam Reilly detailing local media coverage of the then-Islamic Society of Boston's leadership, and the ISB's resulting lawsuits. A column co-written by Jacobs in the Boston Globe details his issues with the Islamic Center's leaders.
Kaleem denied the ISBCC is radical, and said the center was created in part to educate the community about Islam and foster outreach opportunities. Schools often visit as during the WMS field trip, he said, as have employees from the TSA and officers from the Boston Police Department. "They see us as legitimate, mainstream partners in the community," he said.
Elaine Driscoll, director of communications at the Boston Police Department, said officers at the police academy did participate in an educational program with the ISBCC. She was not able to elaborate late Friday.
Kaleem said the students were not invited or encouraged to pray with the other faithful during the field trip. He said the guides who lead the tours take part in the prayer themselves and are not supervising the students during that time. That, he said, is left to the school's chaperones. "Our specific policy in theses tours is that we not invite the public to take part," he said, though if someone were to ask to participate, that would be up to them, or in the case of a field trip, the chaperones.
The video, released Thursday morning, shows students praying during a field trip to the Islamic Center of Boston Cultural Center in May, one of a series of social studies field trips. The trips, part of the sixth grade social studies curriculum, "Enduring Beliefs and the World Today," are intended to allow students to visit and observe places of worship, not participate. Superintendent Bella Wong sent a letter to parents last week apologizing that students were allowed to be "imitating the act of prayer".
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Massachusetts agreed the students taking part in prayer during the trip was not appropriate. "If, as the video produced by this organization purports to show, public school children were indeed asked to take part in a prayer service at a mosque, it would be deeply troubling, as would any invitation to public school children to participate in a prayer service at any church, temple, or other religious place of worship," said Carol Rose, executive director, ACLU of Massachusetts, in a Sept. 16 release.
However, the release also casts doubt on the veracity of events depicted in the video. "The ACLU also is troubled by the misleading inclusion of ACLU staff in this video clip. The ACLU was never involved in a visit by public school children to the Roxbury mosque. Rather, images of ACLU staff included in the video were taken at a public event held at the Roxbury mosque on May 22, 2010, at which Governor Deval Patrick, Maura Healey, Chief, Civil Rights Division at Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, ACLU of Massachusetts Education Director Nancy Murray, and others were invited to speak about ways to fight prejudice and discrimination in Massachusetts," Rose wrote.
The Muslim American Society has also published a lengthy statement about the video, which alleges additional liberties taken in its editing.
Wellesley Patch Correspondent Ellen Ishkanian contributed to this report.

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — North Tonawanda Alderman-At-Large Bob Clark just happened to be working outside New York City when the first plane struck the north tower of the World Trade Center buildings.
With years of military service under his belt as a combat medic, including a tour in Vietnam, he was stationed at nearby Stewart Air National Guard Base and working in the private sector for an energy company when an urgent call came into his office.
"I was 19 floors up and we looked right down the river and could see Manhattan," he said. "I stood up and looked out the window and I could see the smoke. The next hour and a half we were essentially watching that from the window."
But while he was watching he placed a call to his base because he "just didn't feel comfortable" sitting idle.
"When the second plane hit the tower I picked up my phone and said 'I'm on my way,'" Clark recalled. "I went home, grabbed my gear, kissed my wife goodbye went over to the base and I didn't come back for another six weeks."
The next day, near the center of the wreckage, he began processing medical teams that encompassed military and civil personnel.
Clark, who in the late 1980s has worked in 2 World Trade Center in the financial industry, said he used to look down at homeless people congregating in Battery Park at the southern tip of Manhattan and felt empathy for their struggles.
Now he was headquartered in the same place, sleeping on park benches, digging through charred refuse for victims' remains and circumventing the chaos that gripped the city for weeks. But that's not all he did.
"I picked up about a dozen baseball-sized pieces of the World Trade Center," he said, adding that he gave them to family members, friends and a bureaucrat.
On Wednesday, 12 years after he first headed to the site, Clark presented one of those pieces to the City of North Tonawanda, in a ceremony held at City Hall.
The small, boulder-like concrete object will be incorporated into a 9/11 memorial planned at the North Tonawanda Fire Department, according to Mayor Rob Ortt, who joined the military in response to the attacks.
"I feel very personally connected to that day even though I watched it on TV," Ortt said.
The city has now obtained three pieces of the towers. One is situated at a display in City Hall, another will join Clark's contribution at the fire department, a place the newly appointed council member feels will be a gathering place on Sept. 11 for years to come.
"It's not much, but there's an incredible amount of memories attached to it for me," Clark said. "Now it will be a part of the city's own memorial."

Big Read Kick-Off A Big Success!
Posted on February 18th, 2010 by Brown Library Blogger

Danvers Public Schools students are still more than a week away from the start of school, with teachers scheduled to return on Tuesday, Sept. 4 and all students head back on Wednesday, Sept. 5.
But many local schools head back in the coming week - before Labor Day.
Which way is better? Would you prefer students head back before Labor Day? Why?
Or does the current Danvers school calendar make sense? Why?
Let us know below in the comments section.
Currently, the last day of school will be June 20, with no snow days. If five snow days are used, the last day with be June 27.

How many of you are aware that the Guidant John Rose Minnesota OVAL is the largest sheet of refrigerated ice in North America and one of only three refrigerated speed skating ovals in the entire United States?
It is truly a Roseville community treasure and on any given day you might see speed skating events, hockey practice and tournaments, US Bandy games and open public skating. During the summer the surface is well utilized as an in-line skating track and skate park.
The Friends of the OVAL Foundation was formed in 1993 to help raise funds to build the Guidant John Rose MN OVAL and Skating Center. They continue to raise funds today in order to keep both the indoor hockey and figure skating rink and the outdoor, Olympic caliber skating facility, in excellent working order for all user groups.
In 2012 capital improvements funded by the foundation included an updated media interface for Cable TV as well as internet broadcasts, and a new timing system for the OVAL. User groups now have the capability of:
- Web streaming LIVE events from both the Outdoor Oval and the Indoor Ice Arena. Each User Group has the ability to produce their own events using
volunteers from within their own group and cameras that the Foundation has
- Collaborating with CTV for televised events.
- Under the leadership, and a whole lot of sweat equity, of Foundation board member Rich Chlebecek, video and audio feeds are now in place in the following areas:
- •Indoor Arena has 9 video feeds and 2 audio feeds.
- Outdoor OVAL has 17 video feeds and 2 audio feeds.
- Banquet Rooms have both video and audio feeds.
- Total of 33 video feeds throughout the facility.
- OVAL Scoreboard (19' W x 10' H) is fully integrated into the overall system
In order to finance projects like those listed above as well as help fund ice time for user groups and events year round the Friends of the OVAL host a major fund raiser every year. This year's 'Chill Gala' was held at the OVAL on Saturday, November 17th, 2012.
The guest speaker was local author Ross Bernstein who has written more than 50 books, among them 'America's Coach' about his late friend and mentor Herb Brooks. His award-winning books have reached No. 1 multiple times in the sports category on Amazon.com, and reached an all-time high world-wide sales ranking of No. 17 overall for his book "The Code."
In addition he is a motivational speaker and that evening Ross regaled us with the history of winter sports in Minnesota and how he came to be the Golden Gopher Mascot! In an incredible gesture of good will he also donated all the proceeds from his book sales that evening to our foundation.
In addition ,raffle tickets were sold for chances to win a diamond and sapphire pendant by former Minnesota native Mark Silverstein. His 'circle of life' style pendant is a reminder that what we engage in as kids is remembered and enjoyed for a lifetime.
According to Mark, "I grew up in Minneapolis and spent most of my winter days skating at the rink across the street from my house. We played hockey or other ice games until our feet were frozen or we had to go to bed. The pendant reminds me of those days, skating in circles for endless hours with friends and family. I started skating at 4 and still remember how, just a little less steady!"
You could also buy raffle tickets and bead necklaces for chances at a Wall of Wine, Wall of Craft Beer, MN Wild items and assorted other gifts!
The evening was a huge success and the funds raised will certainly help ensure the long term success of the facility. The success of that event is because of the board members of the Friends of the OVAL Foundation who volunteer their time and talent year round.
The current Friends of the OVAL Foundation Board of Directors:
Steve Trynoski, Leslie Berry, Louise Bjorkman, Mike O'Neill, Nancy Reimann, Neal
Logan, Paul Stangl, Rich Chlebecek, Jennifer Durand, Amy Englund, Brad
Tullberg, Carl Sannes, Dale Hedstrand, Dean Maschka, Dr. Richard Vehe, Jodie Carlson, Joe Von Drasek, Julie Wearn, Kelley Mickus, Laurie Benson and Win Mitchell.

From the Boing Boing shop: Nomskulls - silicone cupcake molds. Includes recipe for brainy frosting.

5 Responses to "Nomskulls - skull cupcake mold"
Noddy Ninetythree says:
I received a set of these as a gift and they are quite cute… but… calling these molds is stretching it a bit. they are more like very cute cupcake cups. only the eyes of the skull design carry through to the inside of the 'mold'. no nose, no teeth.
Cefeida says:
They do look like you'd rather serve the cupcake in them than pull it out…

PhD-Research Cluster: Texts, Lectures and Radio-Essays (2013 - ongoing)
My research centers on the role of theoretical work by artists for the growing intellectualization of the artfield. This tendency is characterized by discursive framings of large-scale exhibitions, a new positioning of art museums as discursive institutions and the implementation of the tertiary education system. Therein one cannot only see a proliferation of discursive formats, but also a change in the societal role of art – art is progressively a member of knowledge society (Tom Holert). Departing from these observations I look at the interactions of this tendency and selected artistic positions and discourse practices. On the one hand I'm interested in indisciplinary practices (Jacques Rancière) that are developed by artists in order to critically reflect the change in art institutions and the academic upgrading and the role and function of artists in this process of the intellectualization of the artfield on the other hand. The results of this analysis stress significant aspects of the education of artists.

Paratext: Pseudo-Allianzen
Research Cluster: Texts, Lectures and Radio-Essays (2011 - ongoing)
In a very basic understanding paratext is the text that surrounds the main text. Paratext is material supplied by editors, printers and publishers. The term goes back to the French structuralist Gerard Genette, who published its concept in 1987 in a book with the title «seuils», translated «thresholds». The Greek term para, refers to something, which is at the same time on both sides of a border, which marks the border itself. Something para-like has the same status as the text and is however secondary and subsidiary like a guest to his host. The paratext is an appendix, which controls in reality every reading process. I'm interested in the concept of paratext in regard to the art field. The aim of my research is to investigate in which ways the notion of paratext can be used in an art context. A work of art is, almost as much as a published text, surrounded by something that might be called paratexts - thresholds of interpretation - zones «not only of transition but also of transaction».

radio arthur
Monthly Radio Show, Events and Exhibitions (2007-2013)
Temporary radio studio, 2012
«radio arthur» is a radio-magazine, which is dedicated to the discourse around artistic positions and their formulations, critique and reception. Together with Franziska Glozer and Valentina Stieger I initiated «radio arthur» in December 2007 as a monthly radio show of 90 minutes. We were inspired by projects such as «Radio by Artist» curated by Ian Murray between 1978-1980, or «Kunst zum Hören, Kunst heute» organized by ORT Austria between 1976-1984 or «Radio Daniele» curated by Christopher Williams at the «Kunsthalle Zürich» in 2007. The medium radio and therewith especially the notion of the radio studio served us as a model for a place of exchange and discussion. A place at the point of intersection between exhibition space and radio show, between the perception categories reading and experience and between art work and discourse. We developed different formats, wherein we could work together with other artists or art institutions, such as «encounter», which introduces important artistic auditive art works, or «performance as a document», a conversation format between artists, or «choose an artist». In «choose an artist» one artist, or a group of artists is or are invited to introduce an artistic position, which is important for his/her or their artistic practice. By this, one reflects on ones own interpretation, terminology and the artistic position, which are inscribed in an individual's art practice.
With With
Lecture Series', Seminars, a Publication and a Book Tour (2009-2013)
«We would like to learn, and we are working on a book...» 2012
Together with Romy Rüegger I initiated a lecture series called «Everything but An Artist Talk». The starting point of this series was a seminar and lecture series about essayistic strategies we have organized as students within the Masters of Fine Arts class at the ZHdK in 2009. Starting from there, the series took off to different spaces, organizations and institutions within Zurich. We regarded the format of the lecture series as an ideal framework to question the status of knowledge in the artfield. What kind of knowledge is distributed and produced by artists? How did the art academies where we were trained at, form our artistic position? What role plays theoretical instruction in the use of the lecture as an artistic form of expression?
Together with Corinn Gerber, Romy Rüegger and HIT I edited the publication «We would like to learn, and we are working on a book...». This publication engages the form of the book as a site for poly-vocal and experimental research on art, language, and the economies within and between institutions and asks what the process of publishing means for knowledge exchange.
Exhibition space in Basel (2006-2007)
Round table discussion, 2007
Together with the artists Valentina Stieger and Dina Schüpbach I curated in 2006 an exhibition space in Basel, called SCHALTER. Throughout one year we organized every Thursday another event or exhibition. Quickly we weren't satisfied anymore by simply inviting an artist to show his or her work and rather wanted to create a framework, that was more than just providing a room for guest artists. We were interested in collective process', which tried to avoid the separation into traditional roles such as curator, artist, critic, audience, professor or student but aimed to question these positions by allowing for more varied and fluent processes. The conversation seemed to be an appropriate format to invite participants to take on and try out different roles. Therefore we started to initiate roundtable formats. These formats were a simple tool to find out more about the other artists, their positions and how I or we wanted to relate to that.
Lucie Kolb (b. 1985) is an artist and researcher. She's interested in indisciplinary theory practices in the cracks of the artfield. She has been involved in a variety of artistic and curatorial collaborations, as the radio-magazine «radio arthur», the series of lectures «With With: Everything but an Artist Talk» and the exhibition «You can find me in the lexicon, in the lexicon». She co-edited the publication «This book is a classroom» 10/2012 and the issue «(New) Institution(alism)», OnCurating 02/2014.

It took a little longer than Shane Johnson expected, but the Clarendon Hills resident's local cafe is finally open for business.
The Hills Cafe & Pizza had its first day of business at the corner of Prospect and Park avenues Dec. 22, after building problems delayed the opening that was originally set for December 2011.
"Every time we would try to open up a wall, we'd find a problem. Every time we opened a ceiling, we'd find a problem," said Johnson, who was also sidelined for several months last year due to a health scare.
Throughout 2012, Johnson, who serves on the Clarendon Hills Special Events Committee, would be asked by residents when they could expect the diner doors to open.
"Every time I came downtown I'd get stopped," he said.
Now it's customers who are stopping in.
Johnson, a husband, father of two, and stepfather of one who has lived in Clarendon Hills since 2002 and formerly worked at the town's Mid-America Bank, said his goal with The Hills is to bring back to downtown the family diner and pizza-joint atmospheres that were lost in recent years with the closings of Town Kitchen and Delicioso's Pizza.
Despite the still-lagging economy, Johnson said he's confident his business will succeed because he has found that unfilled niche.
"For years people have been telling me this is what they want," he said.
The Hills' menu features all that diner-goers would expect: omelets, Benedicts, and oatmeal among the breakfast served daily; sandwiches, burgers, salads, soups and, of course, pizza, included among the lunch and dinner options.
Geared himself toward healthy living, Johnson said it's been important to him that healthy options be offered at his restaurant.
"We're trying to accommodate a lot of different diets," he said.
The Hills has a full liquor license, and Johnson says a craft-beer-of-the-month rotation started with Rogue's Dead Guy Ale this month.
"It goes great with pizza," Johnson said.
Johnson, a first-time restaurateur, owns The Hills with business partner Don Lindeman, a Willowbrook resident with a restaurant background.
The restaurant was originally going to be named Lindy's, after the chain of chili places begun by Lindeman's grandfather. But Johnson said the current Lindy's Chili ownership was not thrilled at the idea of sharing its name with an unaffiliated restaurant.
"We wanted to personalize it for the town," Johnson said of the name. "The Hills kept popping up. It kind of rolls off the tongue."
Though the name and the old-time Clarendon Hills photos set to adorn the walls of the cafe are meant to appeal to local residents, Johnson said his goal is to bring in nonresidents, as well.
"We've got five great places to eat now in town, and they're all different," he said. "We [restaurateurs] all want the same thing: we want to take care of the community, we want people to come down, but we [also] want to bring new people down here."
The Hills is open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Sunday. Breakfast is served until 11 a.m. during the week and until 11:30 a.m. on the weekends.

The Woman's Club of Belleville announces its major annual fundraiser, a tricky tray happening on March 22, 2012, at The Chandelier in 340 Franklin Avenue.
Aptly titled "March Into Spring" as the event falls within the first few days of the season of growth, the fundraiser is expected to bring hope to the club's numerous beneficiaries.
Among the current community projects of the Woman's Club are: sponsorship of high school young ladies to the Federation's Girls' Citizenship Institute held at Douglass College each spring, scholarships for Belleville High School students, and sponsorship of Art and Poetry Contests for the town's public elementary and middle school students.
The club also collects toiletries, school supplies and gifts for the Safe House, Christmas Wish Trees at Bethany Lutheran Church, Operation Candy/Cookie, and Books for Tots and Teens (in conjunction with the Belleville Public Library).
It supports domestic violence programs, services to homeless women, and Gilda's Club, a center providing non-medical assistance to cancer patients and their families. The Woman's Club also sponsors the Belleville Middle School Stompers Club as well as participants to the Essex County Special Olympics Event, and contributes to several other community and state organizations' efforts.
The 2012 tricky tray fundraiser is open to everyone and promises a night of great fun and prizes, as the club also celebrates its 90th anniversary this year.
Tickets for "March Into Spring" cost $35.00 per person and include a full course dinner. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Those who wish to purchase tickets and contribute to the club's philanthropic works may get in touch with Patty at 201-303-337 (mobile) or 973-751-3226 (home); or Marie Kimble at 973-759-3912 (mobile) or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Mydder agrees with White Suprematist Anti Semite Buchannon
by TennesseeGurl, Tue Jan 22, 2008 at 10:55:35 AM EST
Why am I sick of mydd. Let me preface I am a young AA female of Latino heritage. I have given 10 years of my life to politics and the Democratic Party. It saddens me when so called liberals agree with the likes of Patrick J. Buchannan. To me it's like saying AA you can do anything just not be president. Advocate for your girl or guy but to agree with Buchannan goes against everything the modern DNC stands for.
What sickened me was that a mydder agreed with the racist anti immigrant anti Semite Pat Buchannan about Obama "ghettoizing" the Presidential race. WTF??? Is Hillary Genderizing the race? Is Edwards Son of a millworkerizing the race no... They are different people fighting for the Presidency. Unfortunately it is getting personal. But to agree with Buchannan is much worse than Obama saying Reagan transformed America because Reagan he did. But not in the way we wanted.
If you agree with Buchannan and you're a Democrat we don't want you in this party. We are a diverse party with a big tent. Yes we fight (like most families do) but in the end we come together... But the lies innuendos racial and gender stereotypes by posters have to stop. We can argue and disagree. We can even joke and diss our own fanaticism of our candidates or mock the the other candidates and their overzealous supporters. Ok I really love my candidate. But not in that way. But to agree with a racist disgusting. Don't you see Buchannan is not just going after Obama he is going after the DNC... And a few folks here are foolish enough to fall for it. He is trying to turn us against each other.. Buchannan is a Race Pimp and we should be fighting to get him off of the air...
If you don't believe me about Buchannan see for yourself. Here is what Buchannan has said in the past
"What is happening to us? An immigrant invasion of the United States from the Third World, as America's white majority is no longer even reproducing itself. Since Roe v. Wade, America has aborted 45 million of her children. And Asia, Africa and Latin America have sent 45 million of their children to inherit the estate the aborted American children never saw. God is not mocked.
And white America is in flight."

I invite you to conduct your own research about him. Anyways I am tired I am weary and I am worn. I lifted that from "Lift every Voice and Sing".
If Patrich J. Buchannan is who you agree with I will say it again get out of my party. But if you don't I am glad you're here. Let's try not take this to seriously. Let's go have a drink. It's five o'clock somewhere

St. Lawrence Market
What is the best way to spend a day shopping and eating at the St. Lawrence Market? In other words, if I were to go there, which venues/shops/stalls should I go to, and what's the best time to go on a weekend?
I've been wanting to go for a long time now but I never have the time to make the trek down there.
Personally, if you can hack it, I find the best time to go is early in the morning (7:00 or so). It is really good people watching at that time of day. Actually I just got back from being there.
There are a ton of great places to go but some of my favourites are:
Caviar Direct - Smoked Salmon
Carousel - Peameal Sandwiches and bread
Musatchio's - Veal and Eggplant sandwiches
Alex Farms - Cheese
Also all of the North market for fresh veggies.
Enjoy & have fun!
re: otonabee
I second the Mustachio's suggestion for Italian sandwiches. Are they open that early though?
I have heard that there are good peameal sandwiches to be had at the market, but I've not tried them.
I actually prefer doing my shopping in Kensington market (vegetables, cheese, meat, etc.), and my eating in St. Lawrence.
The market isn't so big it will fill up a day, so you can actually visit everyone in half a day easily and, if your appetite is big enough, have breakfast, a coffee break, and lunch.
Saturday is the most "markety" day, with the north building open for the farmers' market, but the crowds can be a nuisance if you're into some serious shopping. In which case go on a weekday and try to avoid the lunchtime local office-worker crowds.
There are some great cheese and cured-meat stores on the upper level, and some interesting Eastern European deli and meat stores in the basement. Also in the basement, far southeast corner, is an Italian store, rather jumbled but full of stuff you don't always find elsewhere. The bakeries are disappointing.
If you must go on Saturday, go early, before 9 am.
Here are my favorites:
Smoked Duck at Whitehouse
Candied Salmon from Caviar Direct
Sesame Bagels from St. Urbain Bagel
San Francisco Sourdough and Pretzels from Stonemill Bakehouse
Light Rye from Future Bakery
Truffle Cheese at Scheffler's Delicatessen
Fresh Mozzerella, Fiore de Latte, at Alex Farm
Dig through all the bulk and imported goods at Domino's Foods - there's a half hour done
Salmon Gravalax from Seafront
Whole Cumbrae Chicken from Diliso's
Fresh Pizza Dough at St. Lawrence Ice Cream & Pizza
Peameal Bacon Sandwich with honey mustard - Carousel
Chicken Sandwich - Churrasco
Cheese Crepe - Crepe It Up
Chicken & Eggplant Sandwiches - Mustacio's
South Market
Spicy Chorizo and Andouille Sausages from El Gaucho Chorizos
Any meat but especially the bacon from Rowe Farms
Fresh eggs from Clarks
And if you go slightly shopping crazy, like I usually do, there is a great service just outside the middle west doors of the south market.
Just drop off your bags as you shop and then you can pull your car around and pick them up.
Is there a place in St. Lawrence Market that has a good selection of quality spices, salts, etc...? I've kept an eye open but didn't really see a vendor dedicated to that type of thing.
re: jamesm
re: Mila
There isn't really a great and/or dedicated spice vendor. You can try The Lively Life on the lower level of the south market.
Across the aisle from there is Everyday Gourmet. They may appear to be coffee & tea only, but also carry a variety of spices.
The Italian place no one can seem to name (Pasta Mia) has reasonably priced, decent quality olive oils & sauces.
Olympic Food has an okay selection of salts.
re: jamesm
what spices / salts are you looking for?
The place at the very back in the basement of the south side now carries most of the salts sold by saltworks.
The folks in the spice / condiment store just behind the rice/bean vendor have a lot too. I was pleasantly surprised at how much their spice range has increased since the fall. Everything I used to have to go to Kensington for, is now there.
I'll have to check that spot out. I'm not really looking for anything specifically. I'm trying to make visiting the market for shopping a once a week thing and building a pantry. I'm embarassed to say that I have lived in Toronto for 15 years and only recently visited St. Lawrence Market for the first time. I've only been into cooking for a year or so, but still. That place is amazing.
re: jamesm
well, if you want to start building up your supply of chili powders, or get all the fixin's for thai food (the thai chili paste they sell in the white lidded tubs is excellent, much better than the canned versions), all the indian food spices needed or most of the unique ingredients for southern cooking . . . that place'll sort you out. I have a soft spot for that store because they sell Marmite in extra large jars.
For chinese specialities, you're probably better off in chinatown.
You *must* see Boris and his family at European Deli, downstairs behind the juice place. Great, old-fashioned European home cooking - I highly recommend the chicken fingers (make sure you get the eggplant dip to go with it), chicken schnitzel (SO good!), perogies...the list goes on!
re: SallyCinnamon
I have also bought the baby arugula or Rocket in the zip lock bag, but at the upstairs produce market on the east side. Saturdays if I end up getting out of bed late and on to the market. They are all gone. Serves me right. But when I do get my hands on a bag of it. I go home put some lemon juice and olive oil on it with some Reggiano cheese..and oh la la, thats a nice salad. Tour boi

An 18-year-old is facing some serious charges after he allegedly responded to a Craigslist ad and robbed the sellers at gunpoint when they met up in person.
On Thursday, November 21st, the two victims had arranged a meet up with a potential buyer of an iPad mini they were selling at the Cherry Hills apartment complex.
When they pulled into the parking lot of the apartment complex, they told police that a man approached their vehicle with a gun in his hand, demanding they hand over their cell phones and the iPad mini. The thief took the phones and ran across the street to an SUV waiting for him and took off.
In October, police first made contact with the robbery suspect, Latjor Gony when they noticed he was parked on the wrong side of the street. He was cited.
Gony is now facing robbery and weapons charges in this incident.

My toddler recently reached the "terrible two's" stage. That means that at any given moment, he could potentially bite, kick, scream, or throw an epic temper tantrum. We can't very well have a 36 inch tyrant running the show around our house, so it's obvious that it's time to enforce some form of discipline on our adorable yet unruly child.
Since we decided long ago that we would not our children or use fear tactics in our parenting, we settled on using "time outs" as punishment for tyrant-like behavior. It's a simple plan, made popular by the show Supernanny, in which a child is removed from the situation, placed in isolation, and given time to think about what he or she did wrong. The rule of thumb tends to be that the child remains there one minute per year of age.
We've added the additional step of offering a big hug when he is released from the "naughty chair" and then having a discussion about what positive behavior we expect to see in the future. So far, it's worked out great, and we are seeing changes in our little guy's attitude.
So, I was taken of guard when I read an article recently on the Natural Parents Network that highlighted the disadvantages of time outs. According to the article, parents who enforce a time out are actually bullying their child, and it's an ineffective way to discipline children.
"Most children will go through multiple emotions – fear that they are not loved because of their behavior; anger at the situation and the person responsible for sending them to time-out or at the other person involved in the original situation; blame, anxiety or confusion if the child doesn't understand what is going on. They learn that by bullying someone holding less power than you, you can get your own way."
The post delves even deeper into this theory by linking to Aletha Solter's article that was published by the Aware Parenting Instute. Solter takes the perspective a step farther and claims that time outs are actually an emotionally harmful way to discipline children, and that that there are hidden problems with the technique.
She believes that children may learn to suppress their feelings and that teaching children to conform to our wishes does not resolve the deeper issues. She argues that children are most in need of loving attention when they are least deserving of it. She even challenges parents to not use any form of punishment on their children but instead to have an open dialogue with the child about his or her behavior.
It is not necessary to isolate children and withdraw our love to teach them how to "behave." In fact, it is entirely possible to help children learn to be cooperative and decent members of society without ever issuing punishments, rewards, or artificial consequences of any kind.
Although I am intrigued by this concept, I'm not sure I agree a time out is emotionally harmful to a child. Especially if it is enforced with guidance and understanding.
I also question the message I would send if I were to take a moment to single my toddler out, sit him in my lap, and have an in-depth conversation with him about what he did wrong in the midst of a two-year old fit. Would it teach him that he will get my undivided attention when he misbehaves?
Sometimes, when their little hands are swinging and the tears are freely falling, a little space to calm down can be healthy for a child. We are always close by with loving arms and open discussions. We just offer that support after the time out is over.
Do you use time out as a from of discilpline? Do you believe that it is emotionally damaging to children? If not, what form of discipline works for you? Please share your thoughts and experiences in the comments.

Ready to prepare a personalized and unique cookbook for the bride-to-be? Maybe planning to surprise her at a shower or event?
Let her friends and family help compile an online cookbook with recipes they would like to share as she begins this new adventure in life!
Here's How -
- Set up a pro account (for only $19) with a username for the bride and a password (but use the email address of person setting up account for now — so the bride will not be aware of the surprise).
- Invite friends and family of the bride to login to Dish Dish using that same username and password you created and enter the recipe(s) and/or photo(s) they want to share.
- Once all recipes have been entered and the cookbook is ready to transfer to the bride, the bride can log in with the existing username and password and then update the profile under settings with her email address and a new password.
- The pro account allows you to send in 20 RecipeUploads (simply take a picture or scan a recipe and email to us at email@example.com) which we will type in for you! (A great way to save time if one person is primarily entering all the recipes).
- FREE bamboo cutting board – Contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com to let us know you have started a cookbook for the bride-to-be and supply a mailing address for us to send a bamboo cutting board as a gift for the bride as well!
This is also a great idea for pulling together family recipes when the children are leaving home or for grandchildren wishing they could make some of grandma's recipes to share with their children.

Bob Plunkert, an attorney representing Definitions Holding - also known as We Buy Gold, has accused Ward 1 Councilwoman Doris Borgelt of harassment.
He told council members at a recent meeting that his client has complied with all business codes and permits. The business is located at 940 Jeffco Blvd.
"She has called him a criminal," Plunkert said. "She has gone out of her way to approach him at his property at all times of day. She is harassing the owner of Definitions Holding."
Plunkert added that Borgelt does not have permission to come onto the company's property and is therefore trespassing. He said he wanted to raise this to the attention of the council and let it know that Borgelt's behavior was unacceptable.
He said he is seeking a civil resolution in the matter.
Borgelt, who is running for the city's mayoral seat in the April 2013 election, denied the accusation and said that she had only visited the business once. She said she may have been seen visiting a nearby cleaner.
Ward 2 Councilman Bill Moritz said that he knew that Borgelt had visited the business, and that the company was operating in an old house. He said it was grandfathered out of certain building codes, like compliance with the American Disabilities Act.
Moritz asked Community Development Director Mary Holden if the business was in compliance with building codes. She confirmed that it was.
Mayor Ron Counts said this behavior was not acceptable, and he hoped to get it resolved.
