The White House claims the number of unaccompanied children coming across the southern border has decreased in the past month. But border patrol agents say they are still overwhelmed. Jeffrey Brown talks to Shawn Moran of the National Border Patrol Council about a dip in apprehensions, the changing role of Border Patrol and new reports of excessive force against migrants, including children.
A year and a half ago, a local safety-net clinic underwent one of the most significant changes in its more than four decades of serving the metropolitan area: it went from a purely free provider to one that also accepted paying patients covered by insurance. Known for years as the Kansas City Free Health Clinic, the organization became the Kansas City CARE Clinic to reflect the fact that its donation-based operation had evolved to a fee-based, sliding-scale system with a minimum payment of $10. The shift promised hundreds of thousands…

text: Ever since I got the CS2 I have not been 100% about it. I didnt know if it was all in my head or what. After some rigorous listening tonight I am finally completely convinced that it is not in my head. The sound out of the CS2 is very bright, definitely centered around the high frequency range. The midrange is not very defined. In comparison with my monitor 50s, the difference in midrange is night and day. When I watch movies the voices just never seem to be -right-, and when I really turn it up to enjoy a scene the noise is VERY bright to say the least. I really dont think I am turning it up to a point that is damaging the speakers. This really aggrevates me and then I spend 20 minutes trying to adjust the settings. So do you think I should send it in?

Kentucky National Guard members hunkered down in a hangar at Davis Field this past week awaiting air transport back home after completing a five-day search and rescue training mission.
The 203 soldiers and airmen who serve with the Kentucky Army and Air National Guard arrived Sunday by military transport planes at Davis Field before deploying to Camp Gruber. They returned to Muskogee's Davis Field on Thursday awaiting the arrival of three C-130 transport planes.
The scene hearkened back to the airport's early days, when Davis Field served as a ground-air support base to Camp Gruber. The airport, according to the Oklahoma Historical Society, also served as a training site for aerial photographic reconnaissance during World War II.
Davis Field Airport Manager Garry Lynn said the history of the city-owned facility, where a new terminal is being built and taxiway improvements are under way, is rooted as a military installation. The airport was named in recognition of Muskogee native Jack Davis, a World War II veteran who was killed in action while serving in the South Pacific.
According to the Oklahoma Encyclopedia of History and Culture, the federal government's lease of Davis Field for wartime use expired in 1947. It was leased a second time by the federal government in 1956 and served until 1967 as an Air Force Reserve base.
Lynn said while it has served primarily as a civilian airfield since 1967, Davis Field still has a significant military presence and is designated as a forward operating base for Federal Emergency Management Agency operations and a gateway for the U.S. Veterans Affairs. This summer, Lynn said, a military unit will train at Davis Field during a 12-day exercise.
"They will move in and set up a mobile control tower and mobile radar unit, everything to sustain airport operations," Lynn said. "These guys move in everything they need to sustain airport operations at any given location in a combat zone."
Lt. Col. Lance Grebe of the Kentucky National Guard's Chemical Enhanced Response Force Package said Davis Field served as an ideal staging area for the joint unit that arrived Sunday. Grebe said deploying to Gruber by air made the exercise more true to reality.
"If this would have been a real disaster, we wouldn't have been able to drive in here anyway," Grebe said, noting the joint unit included three sections of the Kentucky CERFP. "This was good practice, it kept us from having to bring in all of our vehicles, and it obviously saved taxpayers a lot money."

Post Letter: I know you want to, but don't play 'Blurred Lines'
Dear Marching 110:
First of all, you are awesome. You are one of the things about Ohio University that your fellow Bobcats love to brag about and you are the only reason I have ever attended an OU football game. But it's because I love you that I am so disappointed in reports that you have been practicing and presumably will be performing Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines."
The song explicitly states that consent is a "blurred line," and it is this mentality that contributes to the fact that one in four women at OU will be raped during her time here.
Here's a sampling of the lyrics:
I hate these blurred lines
I know you want it
I know you want it
I know you want it
But you're a good girl
The way you grab me
Must wanna get nasty
Let's be clear- there is nothing "blurry" about real, enthusiastic consent. If a woman REALLY does want to have sex with you, she'll let you know. I promise. Don't presume that you can "know" someone wants sex, and that her no stems from her being a "good girl" rather than a lack of desire to have sex with you.
Your apparent telepathy is not a substitute for verbal consent to have sex.
Dancing with someone is not a substitute for verbal consent to have sex.
The only real consent is freely given and enthusiastic — it is never the result of assumptions, pressure or force.
Marching 110, please don't further perpetuate rape culture at OU by playing this triggering, sexist and demeaning piece of drivel. You are so much better than that.
Allie Erwin is a senior studying political science and serves as OU's Honors Tutorial College student senator.
'Blurred Lines'
Submitted by Bobcat310407 on September 20, 2013 - 11:42am.
Allie, I realize that your intentions are in good faith in writing this article, and can agree with many points you have made.
However, the 110 has a proud reputation of being upstanding members of the OU community and in no way, shape, or form condone violence against women. The marching band prides itself on its driving style, dance moves, and precision in music and on the field. That is it! You may question the choice of one musical selection (out of around 25 or so NEW songs this year) for this half-time show, but there is only one goal every time the band steps onto the field: ENTERTAIN. The Most Exciting Band In The Land does not take political views, stances, platforms (or whatever you would like to call it) and they play and march their butts off in order to get a chance to brighten other's lives. And, unfortunately, the band does not take requests from the crowd...please do not put the hard-working band members down for a song that one, will be played by instruments (not sung aloud), two, has been chosen by the director, and three, for following directions TO A TEE and fulfilling what is expected of them each week, like it or not!!
This does not mean the ends outwiegh the means in any circumstance, but having been a member of the band I know how much work and devotion it takes to be in a college band, let alone the OU Marching 110. I fully support Dr. Suk and his direction of the band as well as the band staff in charge of making the 110 as great as it can be. It is without a doubt that the band is one of the greatest ambassadors that this university has to offer, and I would venture to guess that, yes, even the ladies are very much looking forward to blowing away the crowd with 'Blurred Lines' this Saturday.
I do agree with your general argument. Violence towards women is completely unacceptable and a tragedy every time it happens, but to suggest that the problem will be solved or perpetuated within one band's halftime show is unrealistic.
The song in question contains what can be 'understood' as controversial lyrics, and can be 'understood' differently by many different people. It is understood clearly that you do not approve of this decision, I hope that after Saturday you will realize that this is a political argument brought into a non-political arena. Anyhow, the 110 will most likely blow Robin Thicke's version out of anyones mind to begin with, using their musicality and passion-not controversial lyrics.
As for "Marching 110, please don't further perpetuate rape culture at OU by playing this triggering, sexist and demeaning piece of drivel. You are so much better than that. "
Again, suggesting that the band will play a part to perpetuate rape culture at OU is ridiculous. I had a good time while in band. We were edgy, exciting, and even sexy when we needed to be! However, if you look back in time, the band has often recieved criticism throughout the years because it's 'hip thrusting' and 'rock and roll/pop music' were too "triggering, sexist, and demeaning." Whether you think that it is, or isn't, the band will continue to be among the top bands (better than the best ever) in the nation-doing what they do best.
Looking forward to Saturday,

Professor Dan Parsons says the River Humber isn't actually the ideal location for gathering the green energy as the nature of the estuary is that it has relatively slow flows.

Game 36: Tornado 2, IceRays 0
January 12, 2013 11:02 PM
It seemed like I spent most of my Saturday approving comments here, but I eventually did get to take in a hockey game.
I'll say one thing -- this weekend undoubtedly featured the best consecutive home games the IceRays have played this season.
Of course, that likely is little consolation after seeing another hard-luck bounce go against them to go along with an inability to finish.
Texas 2, Corpus Christi 0 was a fairly entertaining game -- perhaps not as much as Friday's back-and-forth contest -- but entertaining nonetheless. The goaltending was stellar on both sides and a 0-0 hockey game after two periods usually is fairly compelling.
When I talked to Justin Quenneville afterward, he said this was the best six-period weekend his team played all season. That sounds kind of strange after being swept, but I don't disagree with him. From an all-around perspective, the IceRays haven't played two better home games this season. Of course, they would've preferred to skate off with some points in the standings to go with their strong efforts.
Some quick observations:
- Man, the Tornado must be living right to get bounces like the ones they did the past two nights on the game-winning goals. Tonight came after a shot went off a stanchion in the glass, off bodies and right to Jackson Leef at the right post for a tap-in. You have to be lucky to be good and good to be lucky, but Corpus folks have to just be scratching their heads after those goals.
- The difference in this game was Texas goalie Hunter Leisner. He made those timely saves that win hockey games, such as the breakaways by Joe Ginley and Perry D'Arrisso (who was on a two-on-none rush). Leisner also got some help behind him, as an Emil Romig shot during the second period rang off the crossbar. Lucky, but Leisner was plenty good to go with his good fortune.
- The IceRays lost six times at home to the Tornado this year, and four of those losses came in games that were tied after 40 minutes. It wasn't a very thin line separating these teams in most of those games. Texas just has that championship experience that's so key in big games.
- If the IceRays have any finish during the first period, I really think this is a different game considering how well they played during the opening 20 minutes. But Texas regrouped and carried the play during the second and most of the third. Corpus has got to capitalize on opportunities like that against an elite team.
- The bounces in this series could be summed up by a 10-second sequence during the third period. On the shift after Leef's goal, the IceRays had a glorious opportunity to tie, with Leisner down in the crease and the puck on Charles Baldwin's stick. Alas, he couldn't get any lift on his shot and the puck went off Leisner's arm and out of harm's way. It's easy to say Baldwin should've been more patient and maybe tried to pull back and fire, but in the moment, you've just got to shoot as quickly as you can.
- What I don't understand sometimes about the IceRays: What is it with this need to be cute in the offensive zone? Case in point tonight was a third-period decision to make a backhand drop pass to the blue line instead of shooting, with the puck naturally leaving the zone. When is that ever a higher percentage play than putting the puck on net?
- Big, big series coming up in Wichita Falls on Tuesday with the teams separated by seven points for the South's final playoff spot. Only four head-to-head matchups are left, so these are pendulum-shifting games.
- It was another, uh, interesting night in Amarillo with Topeka in town. Plenty happened on the ice. I'm also curious as to the off-ice hijinks tonight. Hopefully someone will chime in with a report from the scene. The ill will apparently even extended to the airwaves, with Topeka broadcaster Arch Ecker reportedly dropping this zinger during Friday's broadcast:
"Know what they call a skunk in Amarillo?...Air freshener."
I'm not sure we'll ever know the definitive story of what happened off the ice on Friday. What I saw in today's blog comments pretty much amounted to this:
I think things were calm tonight. Topeka scratches had a security guard staying with all night and with a 7-2 loss not nearly the emotions that were there the night before.
On the ice it was still rough. In back to back nights Topeka was called for a face mask violation. Players from Topeka consistently go towards it he head with hands and stick. Not meaning to hurt but to knock off the helmet of the opposing player and send them back to the bench due to new rules. Last night they were more successful in doing this. Problem is when you go at the head players will get hurt. Just not a sportsman way to play.
Things got rough in 2nd as Chipperfield lost control of the game a bit and fights happened. Overall, a good night of tough physical hockey.
Well I was wrong about Gaffney being suspended tonight..he played and got his a** handed to him by Rostenkowski at the end of the 2nd. Rosty landed a haymaker that dropped him.
No "off-ice" antics tonight. Topeka hired a private security team for their scratch players and they remained with them the whole time, and the Amarillo GM sat with them the whole time as well.
Greg your pop culture references are spot on. That is just funny stuff right there.
I have to give a tip of the cap to both Hunter Leisner and Ben Myers tonight as they both played outstanding between the pipes.
There were multiple times tonight it seem the guys tried a couple to many passes instead of putting the puck on net. It felt like the IceRays were stuck on 14 shots for half of the 2nd period, before finally Leisner had to make a stop. The IceRays certainly deserved a 2 point weekend even if it meant losing in extra time or your absolute favorite a shoot-out. Hopefully, they take the confidence of knowing they can hang with Texas up to Wichy.
Damn . just noticed the IceRays have to play 6 games in 9 days!!!! Ouch! This games with Wichita Falls are close to a must win. Realistically the best result would be 2-6 or 3-6. Just can't lose to WF. I sure do wish we had a consistent finisher.
[I'd rather play four games in six days at Wichita Falls and Amarillo than go there on separate weekends. The travel is easier, that's for sure. -- GR]

TRAVERSE CITY — Dennis Hyland was a bit cold when he left Charlevoix County Jail last November, clad in the same clothes he went in with — a polo shirt and a pair of shorts.
Hyland, who had never had so much as a speeding ticket, was surprised when he was picked up and jailed for 90 days in August for failing to pay $442 in child support for his twin, teen daughters.
"I didn't know there was a bench warrant," he said, "because the lock on our mailbox had been broken for 30 days."
During his jail time he lost everything — his job, apartment, furniture, and even his car, which was towed and used in a fire exercise by Petoskey firefighters.
Now Hyland, 52, who served in the Air Force for nearly 13 years, is back on his feet, thanks to kind relatives and a host of services that aim to help veterans.
One of the newest sources of help is Supportive Services for Veteran Families, funded by the Veterans Administration, which provided more than $600,000 to northern Michigan this year to assist veterans in the 21-county area.
The Northwest Michigan Community Action Agency is administering the program and wants to get out the word. To date, it has helped 178 veterans and their families and has funds to do more. The program will pay the security deposit and first month's rent for veterans, said Melodie Linebaugh, NMCAA's homeless programs manager.
"We also provide supportive services," she said. "If you have a bad water pump in the car, and it's stopping you from making money, that's a barrier to work and a place to live. So we may help get the car fixed."
After getting out of jail, Hyland's uncle bought him some winter clothes and a cell phone. Hyland moved to Traverse City to stay at the Goodwill since Petoskey doesn't have a homeless shelter. Then he sought out help from area agencies, including the Veteran's Administration office and Michigan Works.

(UNTITLED) spoofs downtown New York avant-garde art scene Adam Goldberg plays a serious composer of difficult, dissonant music in the acclaimed new comedy (UNTITLED) . He resents his painter brother's commercial success until he too becomes the darling of a beautiful Chelsea gallery owner (Marley Shelton). Variety says that this acclaimed movie, which has music by Pulitzer Prize winner David Lang, is "the first film since 'Art School Confidential' to seriously confront issues befuddling artists torn between their drives for personal expression and a demanding marketplace." But it "seriously confronts" them in a very amusing way, as you can see from the funny trailer. See it Saturday or Sunday. Spooky debut feature AFTERSCHOOL evokes the best of Michael Haneke A shy, web-obsessed prep school student accidentally videotapes the deaths (by overdose) of two classmates in the chilling AFTERSCHOOL , the feature debut by 24-year-old wunderkind Antonio Campos. Likened to the work of Austria's Michael Haneke because of its shared obsession with videotape, voyeurism, death, and amoral young people, "Afterschool" (which was shot in 35mm scope) also recalls Haneke in its icy elegance, easily seen in the trailer http://blog.cia.edu/cinematheque/?p=503. Don't miss one of the most acclaimed debut films in recent memory when we show it on Saturday and Sunday. Is Nicholas Ray's IN A LONELY PLACE the best forgotten Bogart film? Humphrey Bogart plays a lonely, weary, self-destructive Hollywood screenwriter accused of murder in Nicholas Ray's achingly poetic 1950 classic IN A LONELY PLACE . Co-starring Gloria Grahame, the movie is also a love story, though one infused with romantic despair. We've discovered that many moviegoers love this moody masterpiece, which is rarely shown theatrically. Don't miss it in a new 35mm print this Saturday or Sunday. Malick series continues with sublime and moving WWII epic THE THIN RED LINE Adrien Brody, Jim Caviezel, George Clooney, Woody Harrelson, Nick Nolte, Sean Penn, and John Travolta are just a few of the stars who appear in Terrence Malick's 1998 Guadalcanal diary THE THIN RED LINE . It's a war film like no other; only Malick would make a combat movie set in a lush Eden and then focus more on soldiers' internal thoughts and memories than on external action. Don't miss this soaring, shattering modern classic when we show it in gorgeous 35mm on Thursday and Friday. ACT OF GOD is new doc from director of celebrated "Manufactured Landscapes" People hit by lightning tell their stories in the electrifying (sorry) new documentary ACT OF GOD . The new film from the director of "Manufactured Landscapes" also considers accidents, chance, fate, and our collective quest to make sense out of tragedy. Novelist Paul Auster and musician Fred Frith are two of the celebrities who appear in it. Watch the trailer It's our Deal of the Week!

Genuine Italian leather, made in China
By William
from Grand Terrace, CA
It's a nice belt but for something that's supposed to be "genuine Italian leather" it is stamped "Made in China". A bit misleading don't you think? Also, belt is on the thin side. It's nice that it's reversible but only buy it if you think the price is right.

'Fashion Week S/S 2012'
Busy weekend in Paris. Saturday I worked on Vivienne Westwood assisting Val Garland. Yesterday was a long day with a early start assisting Val Garland on the Revillion Presentation then straight to Issey Miyake assisting Lucia Peroni. After that a test for a show we are doing today. Two more days in Paris and then it's home time.
Photos; Vogue.co.uk and me
Emanuel Ungaro assisting Charlotte Tilbury.
We did a beautiful navy glossy eye by using Mac's eye pencils Indigo and Blooz and then adding Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour cream on top.
Chloe assisting Lucia Peroni.
Ultra natural look focusing on super clean and light base and ultra natural eyebrows. On the eyelids there was a tiny bit of Mac's paint pot in colors painterly (for blond girls) and groundwork (for dark haired girls).
Hakaan assisting Charlotte Tilbury.
I love this look! Bleached eyebrows and then we did a brown/red cream eyeshadow topped with Elisabeth Arden Eight hour cream on the eyelid. The lip color was from Mac in Fleshpot.
Shiatzy Chen Assisting Sally Branka.
Natural and glowing skin with focus on a gold eye. We used a gold pigment followed by a tiny bit of Mac's super slick liquid eyeliner in Pure Show and Mac's Pearl creme color base on the cheek bones.
Picture 2 : Style.com Picture 4: Models.com
So I went to Paris for 24 hours yesterday to work on the Mugler show assisting Val Garland. It was amazing! The look started out natural but very sculpting with highlighting and shading. After doing the rehearsal Val decided to go glitter eyebrows or glitter mouth on all girls rather than just a few selected ones, so it was a bit manic stress just before the show started. Like it should be.

- Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Make slits in roast with a sharp knife, and insert garlic slivers. Place roast in a pan not much larger than the roast. Pour water into pan, and season roast with salt, black pepper, red pepper, and oregano.
- Cover, and bake in preheated oven for 2 hours, basting occasionally. Remove from oven, and let cool in roasting pan. Meat should be very rare. Wrap tightly and refrigerate overnight.
- The next day, Remove roast from pan, and slice as thinly as possible. Add a little water to roasting pan, and heat on stovetop, but do not boil. Stir to blend seasonings. When au jus is hot, add sliced beef just long enough to heat through. Serve on crusty Italian bread with au jus available for dipping.

Dick, fine job! There are Italian Beef's,then there are "Chicago style" Italian Beefs. Yours i would classify as Chicago style. I also use beef broth instead of water. In Chicago, from where i was raised & just returned from, the only topping you would get are either sweet peppers or Giardinera (hot). No mushrooms or any of that other stuff, but thats perfectly ok for each individual preferences. When it comes to Chicago style Italian Beef's, im just a purist as all. For the people who said rump is too tough, you first roast to no more than medium! That way when you slice the meat, I should say SHAVE, it does not crumble. That degree of doneness has nothing to do with tenderness. After cooling(important cause hot meat crumbles)inserting the shaved meat in the Au Jus the redness will dissapear. Do not waste the x-tra $$ on beef tenderloin. Rump or top round or sirloin tip will be just fine as well as eye of round, although eye of round is NOT the tenderloin! Dick, out of all the Beef joints in Chi-Town, Al's is probably tops, but then again it's all a personal preference. For all of the people out there "ad libb'ing" a Chicago style Italian Beef, they have to know what an original really is & how it's served! Sort of like in Philly at Gino's or Pat's. Cheese Whiz or American Cheese. Thanks for letting these folks in on a Chicago staple.
I'm from Chicago but have moved away. I love this recipe when I'm craving an Italian beef sandwich! Mine is slightly different though. I don't use water but a combination of beef broth and beer. I leave it in the slow cooker while I'm at work. When I get home it's perfect on a crusty italian roll with some mozzerella cheese!
Bonnie R.
Thank you! You should rename this one the ONLY REAL Italian Beef Sandwich Recipe! We also moved away from the city of Chicago, and couldn't believe what they were passing off as "Beefs" in our new locale; shredded or loose meat with only a hint of seasoning, and carrots! AAAGH! I came up with this method too after trial and error.I also use flavoring in the water added to the roasting pan, usually a little Worcestshire and a teaspoon of ready-to-use beef bouillon. We use a whole beef tenderloin, mostly for ease of slicing, so that we have enough for a big party or extra for the freezer. My recipe calls for an herb/spice rub, with an eight cup each basil, oregano and parsley in dried form. A dash or two of dried diced onion, crushed red pepper as hot as you like, and salt and pepper to taste. Put on half of this before inserting the garlic and half after. An easy way of doing the garlic is to make shallow scorings lengthwise down the tenderloin and then pat in minced garlic from a jar. Sometimes we use a third to a half jar, depending on the size of the roast. Proceed as you do with Dick's recipe, but with a whole tenderloin (sometimes called eye of round) you might need longer for the larger size -- we usually leave it in the oven for 4 hours. The first time we used the recipe, we put it in a roaster for a 70-person grad party, and it was the most requested entree, around 12 pounds completely gone right down to the gravy. Hope the "tweaks" will help..Salute!

COLUMBIA, SC — "The Great Gatsby" returns to the big screen Friday with all its American flamboyance and contradictions.
But a University of South Carolina professor says there is as much intrigue and revelation inside author F. Scott Fitzgerald's newly digitized ledger book and other literary artifacts in the USC Libraries' $4 million Fitzgerald collection.
The pieces, including the famous bound ledger book, a hip flask given to Fitzgerald by his future wife Zelda, and long galley proofs of "The Great Gatsby," are now on public display in the Ernest F. Hollings Special Collections Library at USC, providing a window to the jazz age world that Fitzgerald and his 1920s contemporaries inhabited.
"That generation born in the 1890s really believed that the 20th century was their century," said Park Bucker, an English professor and Fitzgerald scholar at USC-Sumter. He said the book, written almost 90 years ago in the midst of the roaring '20s, endures because its themes of lost love, ambition and dashed dreams are woven into the American story of every generation.
"Aren't people still concerned about loss of love? Aren't people still concerned about aspiration?" said Bucker, who considers "Gatsby" among the greatest of American novels. The book is a staple of high school and college reading lists, although Bucker believes college-age students may extract the most from Fitzgerald's themes.
South Carolina houses the largest Fitzgerald collection in the world thanks to Matthew Bruccoli, the pre-eminent Fitzgerald scholar of the modern age. Bruccoli, who wrote more than 50 books on Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway and other American writers, taught at USC for 40 years and was passionate about book-collecting, donating more than 4,000 books and artifacts that form the Fitzgerald collection.
"He wanted students to use things, to touch things," said Bucker, who came to USC in the mid-1990s to study under Bruccoli, who died in 2008.
"As a collector, he was phenomenal," said Elizabeth Sudduth, who oversees rare books and special collections for the university libraries. "His motto was to always get the book."
The pieces in the sprawling Matthew J. and Arlyn Bruccoli Collection also defy Fitzgerald's popular image and reputation as a flamboyant partier and alcoholic. "He was an incredible craftsmen," Bucker said. "This image of him as a drunken playboy is just not accurate."
The ledger reveals Fitzgerald's literary life from 1919 to 1938 through a detailed accounting of the money he earned through his 160 short stories, four published novels, his plays and movie rights. "The Great Gatsby" was not a literary success at its time of publication, earning fewer royalties than his advance, Bucker said. But it took off once the book and other classics were distributed to soldiers fighting in World War II.
The ledger also offers up a sweetly earnest and wry autobiography, with not a few misspellings, written by Fitzgerald in the third person. For a man who chronicled the contradictions of American success, he records that his first word was "up." On the page entitled "One Year Old," Fitzgerald notes that "He had a dutch haircut" and survived bronchitis.
At three, Fitzgerald wrote that "he celebrated the new century by swallowing a penny and catching the measles. He got rid of both of them. In March, "His parents sent him to school but he wept and wailed so they took him out again after one morning."
At 20, he writes: "A pregnant year of endeavor. Outwardly a failure with moments of danger but the foundation of my literary life." And two years later, at 22: "The most important year of life. Every emotion and my life work decided. Miserable and exstatic but a great success."
USC library officials hope the hype from the latest Gatsby movie will encourage the public to make their way to the rear of the Thomas Cooper Library and enter the special collections library. Sudduth said the university, like Bruccoli, has always insisted that manuscripts should be accessible to the public. That means anyone who is interested in leafing through the ledger or reading the galleys may do so.
As Sudduth notes with a smile, "bring clean hands, a pure heart and a current photo ID."

Some top Dãos plus Luis Pato's latest releases
This should be read in conjunction with my overview in inside information. Dão Duque de Viseu 2000 Sogrape 15 Drink now Round, supple fruity wine with no great intensity but with good Portuguese roots. A cross between Dão and a commercial Australian Shiraz. Good value at £4.99. Quinta Fonte Do Ouro Tinto 2000 16.5 Drink 2005-10 Very deep crimson. Almost Australian in its upfront fruity appeal. Lots of fruit and charm and then noticeable carbon dioxide. This wine, treated to nine months in French oak, is the most obviously 'international' to be reviewed here. Quinta Fonte do Ouro...

Community Legal Services
Educational Equity
Lawyers' Committee's educational equity work looks at issues in education that are impacting low-income students of color throughout the Bay Area. We assist community based organizations, parents, and students in leveraging the law to identify and create community-based solutions for issues in our schools.
Among the issues we address are:
- Discipline
- Discrimination
- Harassment
- Educational equity within districts
- School desegregation and district student assignment plans
For more information, contact Cecilia Chen at email@example.com.
Equal Opportunity in Contracting
Lawyers' Committee is a leader in the fight to ensure that minority and women-owned businesses have equal opportunity to compete for public contracts. Most recently, we successfully represented small minority business owners in pursuing a civil rights complaint to ensure that California's high speed rail contracting - the largest public works project in the nation - is conducted in a manner that ensures fair and equitable contracting opportunities for all.
We also represent a coalition of minority business contractors in a federal court case involving Caltrans' Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program, seeking to preserve the program's efforts to ensure equitable contracting for small businesses. If you are minority business owner concerned about contracting equity, please contact Oren Sellstrom at firstname.lastname@example.com. Please note that we generally do not handle individual cases, but focus instead on class actions or other matters seeking systemic reform.
Money Management Workshops
Low-income individuals are frequently targeted by predatory lenders and often spend more on financial goods and services than other individuals. Lawyers' Committee is working to combat this dilemma by leading workshops at community-based organizations to empower individuals to gain financial control of their lives.
We provide workshops on a range of financial issues, particularly on credit scores, and why to and how to bank. If your organization or community is interested in our workshops, please contact Miya Saika Chen at email@example.com
Lawyers' Committee works in collaboration with a variety of legal service and community organizations throughout the Bay Area. Click here for a list of other organizations that may be able to help you.

Tilt-Shift Video Trial4 05 2009
I've been meaning to give tilt-shift video a try for a while now. Click on the picture below to view an example of tilt-shift photography.
Since my school has an annual food fair in May and I have access to the roof, I thought I'd have a go. This video is only a minute long (with titles) and I used 243 photos to produce it. I used Tilt-ShiftMaker as it was the easiest and fastest way. I imported each photo individually and then put them in iMovie where I shortened the time of the photos to .15 seconds. I then merged the photos as DV and sped up the time slightly. video link here via YouTube or view with better quality here via Vimeo.

Steve Denning, Contributor
I write about radical management, leadership, innovation & narrative
We have always known that Apple [AAPL] is agile, having successively disrupted the music industry, the cell phone sector and the tablet market, as well as itself. But is Apple truly "Agile" in the sense of the Agile Manifesto? Apple is conspicuously absent from the Agile/Scrum/Lean/Kanban conferences. Is it possible that they could be agile, without being Agile?
Thanks to Adam Lashinsky's terrific new book, Inside Apple, which I reviewed here yesterday, we now know. Apple is Agile.
It was obvious even from the outside that Steve Jobs was the supreme Product Owner in the Scrum terminology. He was the one who designed what would delight the customer.
Lashinsky confirms: "Apple designed for Steve," a former Apple software engineer said. "It is not an exaggeration. Steve was the user that everything orbited around and was designed for." The biggest challenge Apple faces is to find a new product owner, probably a group of them, not just one.
Agile is about doing work in small teams. One of the biggest problems Google [GOOG] has had is keeping teams small. This is where Apple has shone.
Lashinsky notes: Apple frequently assigns major projects to small groups. For example, just two engineers wrote the code for converting Apple's Safari browser for the iPad, a massive undertaking.
The notion of responsibility, a key Agile value, is enshrined at Apple in a company acronym, the DRI. It stands for "Directly Responsible Individual," and it is the person on any given assignment who will be called on the carpet if something isn't done right.
Lashinsky's book doesn't discuss how software development is managed, but the manufacturing is very Scrum-like.
EPMs and GSMs at Apple are based in Cupertino, but they spend much of their time in China, where Apple contracts with Chinese manufacturers to build its computers and mobile devices… … once Apple is done designing, building, and testing a product it starts designing, building, and testing all over again. This "overt rhythm," in the words of a former Apple engineer, culminates every four to six weeks with a gathering of key employees at a factory in China. An engineering program manager, whose job it is to pull together the various hardware and software engineers who contribute to a product, will typically bring the latest beta version back to Cupertino for senior executives to see—and then get right back on a plane for China to repeat the process.
Under Sculley, Apple had grown bureaucratic. Multiple committees existed to address various corporate imperatives. Among its managerial ranks, fiefdoms had arisen, each with budgeting power and sometimes-competing agendas.
"What was wrong with Apple wasn't individual contributors," Jobs said. "We had to get rid of about four thousand middle managers. Good technical people stepped up to become managers."
By insulating all but a few employees from the profit-and-loss figures as well as using an extreme form of accountability, Apple has created a work environment where employees are encouraged to do great work, not save dollars.
Under Steve Jobs, only one executive "owned" a P&L, and that was the chief financial officer. By creating a system whereby only a financial executive would mind the budget, Jobs forced functional executives to focus on their strengths.
Ultimately, the Agile Manifesto is not about a particular process, but rather a set of values that was built on a respect for competence and that brings out the best in people. In this sense, Apple is truly Agile.
Steve Denning's most recent book is: The Leader's Guide to Radical Management (Jossey-Bass, 2010).

The observation of Agility in manufacturing, and even in consumer electronics isn't news to me. The teams I led at HP in consumer PCs iterated a multi-billion dollar run rate product line on a *weekly* basis.
PCs have about a 14 month design cycle, driven by the influences of tooling lead times and retail selling cycles (human behavior patterns). Because of the rapid iterations of the underlying hardware (think processor power and RAM / Hard Drive capacities as examples) and the open nature of the platform, competitive pressures in the market mean Windows PCs have a shelf life of only about 3 months. To cope with a market that evolved faster than products could iterate, HP Consumer PCs had to 'think differently'.
What we did maps identically to scrum. Weekly, market feedback and technology status were synthesized into a planned roadmap that looked out 9+ months (over 3 full product life cycles). That roadmap was prioritized for business needs (backlog grooming) and checked for technology feasibility to hit the release window (sprint planning and commit). That plan was then reviewed with General and Function Management (a sprint review, with stakeholders present) and once confirmed, was locked for the next week at an operational level.
There's a reason HP moved from a late entrant in the consumer PC space, to overtake Dell and become a market leader. A good bit of that was an incredible team, less than about 500 direct HP employees and contractors. Another good part of that was the use of Agile, and more specifically scrum, to produce rapid iterations of an entire product line.
