Zadie Smith FRSL (born on 25 October 1975)[1] is a British novelist, essayist and short story writer.
As of 2012, she has published four novels, all of which have received substantial critical praise. In 2003, she was included on Granta's list of 20 best young authors, and was also included in the 2013 list.[2] She joined New York University's Creative Writing Program as a tenured professor on September 1, 2010.[3] Smith has won the Orange Prize for Fiction in 2006 and her novel White Teeth was included in Time magazine's TIME 100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005 list.
Early life[edit]
Zadie Smith was born as Sadie Smith in the northwest London borough of Brent to a Jamaican mother, Yvonne Bailey, and a British father, Harvey Smith. Her mother had grown up in Jamaica and emigrated to Britain in 1969. Their marriage was her father's second. Zadie has a half-sister, a half-brother, and two younger brothers, one of whom is the rapper and stand-up comedian Doc Brown and the other is rapper Luc Skyz. As a child she was fond of tap dancing;[1] as a teenager she considered a career as an actress in musical theatre; and as a university student she earned money as a jazz singer and wanted to become a journalist.
Her parents divorced when she was a teenager. When she was 14, she changed her name to "Zadie".[4] Despite earlier ambitions, literature emerged as her principal interest.
Smith attended the local state schools, Malorees Junior School and Hampstead Comprehensive School, and King's College, Cambridge University where she studied English literature. In an interview with The Guardian in 2000, Smith corrected a newspaper assertion that she left Cambridge with a double First. "Actually, I got a Third in my Part Ones," she said.[5]
Zadie Smith seems to have been rejected for a place in the Cambridge Footlights by the popular British comedy double act Mitchell and Webb, while all three were studying at Cambridge University in the 1990s.[6]
At Cambridge she published a number of short stories in a collection of new student writing called The Mays Anthology. (See Short stories.) These attracted the attention of a publisher, who offered her a contract for her first novel. Smith decided to contact a literary agent and was taken on by A.P. Watt.[7] Smith returned to guest-edit the anthology in 2001.[8]
White Teeth was introduced to the publishing world in 1997, before it was completed. On the basis of a partial manuscript an auction among different publishers for the rights started, with Hamish Hamilton being successful. Smith completed White Teeth during her final year at Cambridge. Published in 2000, the novel became a bestseller immediately. It was praised internationally and won a number of awards (see Novels). The novel was adapted for television in 2002 by Channel 4.[1] She also served as "writer in residence" at the ICA in London and subsequently published, as editor, an anthology of sex writing, Piece of Flesh, as the culmination of this role.
In interviews she reported that the hype surrounding her first novel had caused her to suffer a short spell of writer's block. Nevertheless, her second novel, The Autograph Man, was published in 2002 and was a commercial success, although the critical response was not as positive as it had been to White Teeth.
After the publication of The Autograph Man, Smith visited the United States as a 2002–2003 Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study Fellow at Harvard University.[9] She started work on a still unreleased book of essays, The Morality of the Novel, aka Fail Better, in which she considers a selection of 20th-century writers through the lens of moral philosophy. Some portions of this book presumably are included in the essay collection Changing My Mind, published in November 2009.
The second novel was followed by another, On Beauty (published in September 2005), which is set largely in and around Greater Boston and which attracted more acclaim. This third novel was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize,[10] and won the 2006 Orange Prize for Fiction.
In December 2008 she guest-edited the BBC Radio 4 Today programme.[11]
After teaching fiction at Columbia University School of the Arts, she joined New York University as a tenured professor of fiction as of 1 September 2010.
Beginning with the March 2010 issue, extending until late 2011, Smith was the monthly New Books reviewer for Harper's Magazine.[12]
Smith's latest novel, NW, was published in 2012. It is set in the Kilburn area of London, the title being a reference to the local postcode, NW6.
In 2010, The Guardian asked Smith for her 10 Rules for writing fiction. Amongst them she declared, "Tell the truth through whichever veil comes to hand – but tell it. Resign yourself to the lifelong sadness that comes from never being satisfied." [13]
Personal life[edit]
Smith met Nick Laird at Cambridge University. They married in 2004 in the Chapel of King's College, Cambridge. Smith dedicated On Beauty to "my dear Laird". The couple lived in Monti, Rome, Italy, from November 2006 to 2007 and are now based between New York City and Queen's Park, London.[14] They have two children, Katherine (Kit) and Harvey.[15]

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"This came out great for me, good quality paper and magnet. Sticks to the fridge very good. Arrived almost a week ahead of schedule. Images were a little smaller in person than anticipated, but they were to scale with the rest of the card, so it looked fine. Mailed out with only one stamp-- i was a little worried because they seemed a bit heavier than a normal envelope weight. I wish that would have been included in the description. Note that your pricing adds up correctly, I got a call a few days after the order was placed that I was under-charged by $15, ha! Overall however, I was very pleased with the outcome, I've gotten a lot of comments from friends/family on how nice my STD was!"
"I absolutely LOVE these save the dates. Awesome layout, easy to design, quick delivery. I would definitely recommend these save the dates. Plus you save on postage since postcards are cheaper to send :)"
"I used this layout for our save the dates and we absolutely love them!! They came out better than we expected, thank you so much wedding paper divas! We are one happy couple over here :) Highly recommend this layout and company to order from."
"I love the high grade magnet! The photo finish was beautiful. It really set the tone. Shipped in great time, & I really loved the packaging! Great job"
"We were completely satisfied with our purchase! Our pictures were clear, personalizing was easy, and the delivery was very quick. Many people complimented us on our save the date postcard."

The desert tortoise lives in the Mojave and Sonoran deserts. These two deserts are in southern California, southern Nevada, Arizona, the southwestern tip of Utah, and Sonora and northern Sinaloa, Mexico. The Mojave population (Gopherus agassizii) of the desert tortoise is found north and west of the Colorado River. It was listed as "threatened" under the California Endangered Species Act in 1989 and the federal Endangered Species Act in 1990.
The desert tortoise is between 8 and 15 inches long. It is the largest reptile in the Mojave Desert. The shell is domed and horn-colored or brown. They typically live an average of eighty years, but may live to reach one hundred years old. The average age for females to start reproducing is between 12 and 20 when they lay a clutch of eggs (up to 15) in the spring.
Juvenile Desert Tortoise
The desert tortoise is well adapted to life in the desert. There are many plants in the desert which the desert tortoise eats: cactus, annual forbs, grasses, and wildflowers. In the spring (from March to June) they forage; they are building up stores of fat and water for the rest of the year.
Desert tortoises live in burrows which they dig to escape summer heat and winter cold. When it gets very hot in the summer they estivate in these underground burrows. In the fall, when it is cooler, the desert tortoise will again emerge and eat dried grasses and drink after a thunderstorm.
When there is no water available they are able to absorb the water from their bladders. Watch out, you do not want to approach a desert tortoise too closely; when frightened, they may release their bladder and lose this vital water supply.
In the winter (October to March) they return to their burrows to hibernate. Some burrows have been passed down through generations of tortoises.
Desert Tortoise Feeding
The Mojave population lives primarily on flats and alluvial fans. Common traits of these areas are scattered shrubs with abundant inter-space for growth of herbaceous plants, with soils ranging from sand to sandy-gravel. There is, however, significant geographic variation in the way desert tortoises use available resources; they are also found on rocky terrain and slopes.
Critical habitat designation for the Mojave desert tortoise was published in the Federal Register in February 1994 (59 FR 5820). Areas within the Mojave and Colorado deserts that are essential for the species' recovery were designated critical habitat.

A historic tree on the grounds of the John Brown House in Providence was cut down Monday.
Early in the morning a tree crew armed with a chain saw lopped off the top third of the 108-year-old elm. A crane carefully lowered the piece to the ground. The American elm on the grounds of the John Brown House fell victim to a fatal canker, according to Rhode Island Historical Society grounds keeper Ed Desjarlais.
The new State Board of Education holds its first meeting tonight. The mayor is planning for upgraded security at North Providence public schools. These stories and more on the RIPR Morning News Podcast.

A beloved, ailing Dutch Elm on the John Brown House Museum grounds has received a last minute pardon from city forester Doug Still. Rhode Island Historical Society executive director Morgan Grefe says Still has ordered some additional tests that may confirm the tree is not suffering from Dutch Elm disease.
"Doug had been out several times to look at the elm and, while he recognizes that it is not well, he is hopeful that it is not Dutch Elm disease," says Grefe.
(PROVIDENCE, RI) The Rhode Island Historical Society says Dutch Elm disease has killed one of the American Elms on the property of the John Brown estate. The more than 30-foot tree was planted in 1905. It will be cut down later this month before the larvae that spread the disease hatch. In the spring, the remaining 12 elms and other species on the Providence site will be treated against the disease.

Rhino Rugby Player of the Week: Ally Day |
Off The Field - Awards | |
This past week was a busy one for 7s. Both the USA Men's and Women's 7s teams competed in Dubai, while the College 7s Championship unfurled in College Station, Texas. Amid all of that rugby, one can imagine how difficult it would be to standout, but Norwich University's Ally Day did so effortlessly. And that's why she's Rhino Rugby Women's Player of the Week. Norwich was the class of the tournament, allowing only two tries against while dotting down 194 points over six games en route to the women's 7s title. The Cadets play a unified, balanced game – evidenced by 10 players scoring during the two-day event – again, making it a little more difficult to set oneself above the field. Eleven tries – at least one in every game – helps. The freshman phenom is from Gorham, Maine, and broke in with the Portland U19s before picking up with the women's DII club team – all before college. When she joined Norwich this fall, coach Austin Hall got an early look at Day's potential, as the youngster scored eight tries during the reigning DII champ's title run at the Montreal Irish tournament over Labor Day weekend. She showed no signs of intimidation as she played alongside veteran teammates, who were also finding their feet - quickly - in their first DI league season. As Norwich went on to win the New England Rugby Conference, the freshman scored more than 30 tries. The unique skill set that Day brings to the table is what enabled her 7s success at the college championship last weekend. Hall lauds her ability to beat her opponent through a variety of methods – she has the speed to take the corner, the footwork to side-step a defender, and the power to take on and fend a tackler. She's not half bad on defense either. At only 5'4", she's incredibly physical and was at the center of squashing opponents' attack in the open field. Definitely watch out for Day as she progresses through her college career. We wouldn't be surprised to see her in red, white and blue someday. |

Other People's Kids
July 16, 2010
I'm reading a book right now called The War on Moms: On Life in a Family Unfriendly Nation. I've been carrying it with me on the train each morning, but it's taking me forever to get through; it's kind of a downer (as if the title couldn't have tipped me off), so I'm offsetting it with regular doses of proportionately positive reading material. As a new mom, it's unsettling to read about decent, hardworking people going bankrupt and taking all manner of abuse from The Man as they do what it takes to raise children. And it's heartbreaking to read about the ways in which children are directly affected by inadequate health care, childcare, and even parental care. The book's author, Sharon Lerner, highlights the ways in which these problems stem from poor public policy. They're widespread and deeply interrelated, and reading Lerner's illustrative anecdotes at first left me feeling overwhelmed.
Luckily, I'll have the opportunity to interview the author. I'm doing a little write up for WorkingMother.com. I'm glad that I have this obligation lined up, as it's keeping me from putting the book away in a drawer. The issues Lerner highlights are hugely important. Because they affect children's lives, they are in effect shaping our collective future. I find it helpful, when overwhelmed, to take some form of action—any small step—toward a solution. But what can I do about systemic problems (those that are fundamentally rooted in economic, political and social structures)? That's my big question for Lerner, so far. We'll see what she suggests.
This question has led me to another, a question for myself and a question for all of you. It's a question that I previously considered only theoretically, but now, as a mom, it's personal: How and where are the lines drawn when it comes to our responsibility to other peoples' kids? What do we do when confronted with the reality that there are children in our own environments, in our country and in other places in the world that aren't receiving the resources, protection or love that we strive to provide for our own kids?
The systemic problems are one thing, but this question becomes immediate when I see something happening that makes me uncomfortable (I'm talking borderline-abusive parental behavior in the supermarket or whatever… we've all seen it). While riding the subway home from work a few weeks ago, I saw a mother repeatedly barking at her son and daughter, ordering them to sit down. Now, we all lose our cool sometimes, but this mother had scary anger in her eyes—and it was clear that this was a pretty consistent dynamic in their family. Her kids really weren't misbehaving. They were goofing around with each other. The mother singled out her son (who was maybe eight years old) and demanded that he change his facial expression, which by this point mirrored her venomous look… back at her. I could see him trying to turn out a poker face, but he was angry, upset and embarrassed, and he couldn't do it. His mother then insisted that he put his head on her leg. Kinda weird. He refused, but she made such a scene that he finally complied. He looked almost desperate, and remained in that position for the duration of my commute, at least. For my part, I was torn. I wondered if I should say something to the mother, give her the stink-eye, or what? I told my friend Stu, who recently adopted his second child (congrats, Stu and Nora!), about it later, and he said that in similar situations he sometimes compliments something about the kids to at least change things up in the moment.
I really believe that by raising our own kids as compassionately as we possibly can, we make the world a better place for all children, and all people, by way of a long-term ripple effect. But sometimes it doesn't feel like enough, and it's in those times that I feel most conflicted.
I didn't do or say anything on the subway that day, and I'm still not sure that was the right thing to do. I have felt the same way after witnessing parents full-on screaming at their kids, or swearing at them, or even speaking explicitly about (clearly) inappropriate subjects around them. I have rarely, if ever, intervened. None of us likes to be told how to parent (I've written about how annoying that is). But what do we do when our parenting-sense responds to red flags with respect to other people's kids? What about the bigger picture? What do you do to address the problems facing kids halfway around the world, or halfway across town? I'm looking forward to your thoughts, experiences and perspective.

merry whatever-you-celebrate-or-enjoy-at-this-time-of-year.
did dinner and what not over at t.'s family's place. we brought a couple of vegan apple pies and a dozen or so home made roles of sushi (plus half a dozen or so nigiri) .. the food was great and the conversation stimulating. huzzah for that.
today is christmas with p.'s mom's family. gift exchange, etc. i'm svn up'ing before leaving the house ;)
i didn't manage to get an opportunity to blog on friday about dev wiki day, so i'll do so quickly here before i jump in the shower and then go over the p.'s aunt's house:
it was a terrific success. probably somewhere around 100 edits and several new tutorials, including one on writing indexers for strigi, a dbus tutorial (i need to figure out how to upload non-image files so i put the example .service file online), one on qt4 designer and one on using solid. links to a few older tutorials from around the 'net that need to be ported to qt4/kde4 and put on the wiki were also added, including a few from the kde edu team. at this rate we can make the 100 tutorials mark by summer.
please join us this friday for developer wiki day. we still have lots of content to move over and tons of content to author. personally, i'll be continuing to work on the dbus tutorials and porting the i18n tutorial. what are you working on that hasn't been documented properly and is therefore keeping people from contributing to your kde project?

I have been offered some space to reflect on my 36 years in the Minot faith community, as the receding waters of the Mouse carry me to new life in the Twin Cities, and will do so here.
When I came here in 1972, to teach at Minot State. I was still in full flight from that faith community. I had discovered, as an undergraduate in 1958, that I was smarter than God, and I had turned my back on the church in which I had been raised. But by 1975, after 17 years of trying to make sense of a world without God, I didn't feel so smart, and I decided to read a book about grown-up faith (C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity) and to try going back to church. It didn't take me long to figure out that worked a lot better, and I never looked back. Twenty-six years later the same year I retired from teaching I was ordained a priest in the Episcopal Church. Now I am preparing for my second retirement.
A lot has happened, to Minot, and to the faith community, in those 36 years. The Empire Theater closed. Oil was in North Dakota twice. Flood waters devastated the valley. The world has apparently grown more secular. We hear language on TV that I hesitated to say in my high school locker room. Church attendance in the mainline denominations has declined. In 1972, women priests in my denomination were still an oddity. Openly gay clergy (and bishops) didn't exist.

Rev. George Slanger
For some of my friends, some of these things mark "progress"; for others, they are causes for alarm. But for me, they are blips on the radar screen. The great truths of the Bible, the drama of salvation, the comfort of Christian fellowship, the mysteries of the Eucharist, the satisfactions of prayer, the complexities of theology are overwhelming realities that drown out the ceaseless chatter of the headlines, as Jesus calmed the storm.
It has been an honor and joy to have served the faith community in Minot, first as layperson, and then as priest. It has been a pleasure to be part of the coalition of churches offering a free hot lunch every day of the week. Especially it has been a joy to have been part of the ecumenical movement in Minot that held a wonderful celebration at Bishop Ryan High School New Year's Eve in 1999 and then went on to begin the Palm Sunday Pilgrimage and the Lenten soup worships. Through those activities, I have made friends I will treasure always. Thank you Minot, for 36 great years.

Reflections, a mini-sermon written by Minot and area clergy, will appear each Saturday in The Minot Daily News. Clergy interested in writing a mini-sermon should contact Religion Editor Loretta Johnson at 857-1952 or Debbie Sandvold at 857-1950. The toll-free number is 1-800-735-3229.

Comments: I placed an order for an Elliptical machine and treadmill at the same time. The Elliptical machine arrived with the wrong part on it and has yet to be fixed. The treadmill machine never arrived. It sat in a delivery warehouse for nine days. The delivery company made four delivery appointments and failed to show up for any of them. Finally gave up and returned the treadmill.
Filled with features that serve up comfort and performance, the C 700 treadmill has convenient 1-Touch™ speed and incline controls, a 2.75 CHP DurX™ Commercial Motor, and innovative DualFlex™ cushioning that protects your joints and back.

Linotype Ordinar™ font family
Designed by Lutz Baar in 1999
Linotype Ordinar, from Swedish designer Lutz Baar, is part of the TakeType Library, chosen from the entries of the Linotype-sponsored International Digital Type Design Contest 1999 for inclusion on the TakeType 3 CD. A headline type, this font is available in regular, italic and double weights. The figures are based on the form of a rectangle. The forms on the base line are relatively large and the ascenders and descenders relatively short. The strong figures make a modern and cool overall impression and emphasize the vertical strokes. Among one another, the letters are rather similar, which can reduce legibility in longer texts. Linotype Ordinar is best for short to middle length texts and headlines. Linotype Ordinar double can be seen as a kind of experiement. The figures of the other two weights are set against a background of an outline typeface, which interrupts the strict character of the typeface on the whole and makes it look three dimensional. The unique characteristics of this font are especially highlighted when it is used in its negative form.

"You're making a statement; I don't know, is there a question in there somewhere?" Mora says.
"I'll comment on a question," Mora says.
So someone else asks if Mora would say his players were "as emotionally into this game as they were against USC?"
"I would," Mora says.
OK, so everyone in the room knows now they aren't going to get the truth, Mora just going coach-speak on everyone.
"We're trying to develop a culture about winning," Mora says. "And the way you try to win, you go for that every single time you step on the field, and if you don't you cheat everybody. We're trying to be great."
Yeah, and win one for the Gipper while you're at it.
How about a reality check here?
If UCLA wants to develop a culture of winning and be great, how about playing in the Rose Bowl, a date with Stanford on Friday providing the best path.
"Is that a question or a statement?" Mora says. "If you're asking me a question, I'll be happy to answer it. If you're going to make statements, then make them."
"So we can put it in first-grade terms, do you agree or disagree the best way to get to the Rose Bowl is playing Stanford again?"
"I hadn't thought about it," Mora says, and how many believe that?
"All I had thought about was beating Stanford; that was the end of the world for us."
Gosh, then he must be really devastated, and I sure hope UCLA is able to pick up the pieces.
"I'm just trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, maybe you held things back and there's reason to believe UCLA can win next week," I say, and I think I know what's coming.
"Is this a press conference? If you want to come up here and take the mike and make all your statements, I'd love to have you up here with me."
He does struggle with the truth at times.
"No, you wouldn't," I say before realizing it wasn't delivered in the form of a question. I bet Mora grew up watching a lot of Jeopardy!
"Sure, I would," Mora says. "You don't scare me."
The question is: Can UCLA throw a scare into Stanford?

Other hit songs include "Go West", "Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money)" (satire of Thatcherism which exemplified them as ironists) and "What Have I Done to Deserve This?"

This is part 1 of a 2 part series about theory and practice in magic. I've started with theory, because in my opinion the word theory is not accurately used by the majority of people including it in their writing. The word theory is one that has become conflated with a variety of meanings and associations. I'd argue that how theory is often used, in Paganism and in general, isn't really in line with the meaning of the word as it applies to the scientific method. In other words, a person chooses to use the word theory but how s/he uses it has less to do with the scientific method and more to do with cultivating a certain image associated with the word. If theory is used in context to the scientific method then the theory is a 'proven' hypothesis which has been tested and replicated by multiple people, all who have gotten the same results. The theory is valid as long as the same result is replicated each time, but becomes disproven if the result isn't replicated. In that context, theory is actually a part of practice and is used to demonstrate what a person understands about practice, but also is used to test that practice.
How the word theory seems to be applied, when people use it, is more along the lines of providing a generalizing statement about a topic. Said statement is speculative and nothing is really proven. The word theory becomes a kind of paper shield. It looks impressive so we use it to make what we discuss seem impressive. Used in this way the word theory seems to be used in the classic Aristotelian sense of the word, where no doing, no practice occurs beyond the formulation and expression of the theory. In contrast there is practice (which I'll cover in my next post), which involves doing, an essential activity to really experiencing anything life.
The latter use of the word theory is unfortunately used a lot. It leads to a lot of speculation, a lot of discussion and very little doing. Armchair magicians, in particular, love this kind of theorizing. I find it to be boring and less than useful. Theory without practice is a lot of hot air, with no engagement, no experience occurring. I find that when the word theory is employed in discussions about magic and metaphysics in general the result is a lot of speculative conjecture thrown around for the sake of doing it. Theories abound about why magic works or why deities are or aren't real, or any number of other metaphysical topics. But does it even matter? All that kind of conjecture leads to is an intellectualizing of magic, which in turns creates a distance that from doing the actual work. My question is: Does your theory work?

I have to admit I am sick and tired of hearing talk of 'active' and 'passive' candidates. Even though I admit to freely using the terms myself… until very recently.
But I am going to stop doing that.
People ramble on about 'passive' candidates, as if this is a totally fresh breed of human being, that only new-age, especially savvy recruiters know how to connect with. The 'passive candidate' has become a mystical 'super-talent', somehow superior and different to the bog-standard…

Title: | Guidelines for Handling Bug Reports |
Version: | 1fefbe7ab553 |
Last-Modified: | 2010-02-24 00:58:25 +0000 (Wed, 24 Feb 2010) |
Author: | Jeremy Hylton <jeremy at alum.mit.edu> |
Status: | Withdrawn |
Type: | Process |
Created: | 25-Sep-2000 |
Post-History: |
This PEP contained guidelines for handling bug reports in the Python bug tracker. It has been replaced by the Issue Workflow described at http://www.python.org/dev/workflow/ Guidelines for people submitting Python bugs are at http://docs.python.org/bugs.html
Original Guidelines
1. Make sure the bug category and bug group are correct. If they are correct, it is easier for someone interested in helping to find out, say, what all the open Tkinter bugs are. 2. If it's a minor feature request that you don't plan to address right away, add it to PEP 42 or ask the owner to add it for you. If you add the bug to PEP 42, mark the bug as "feature request", "later", and "closed"; and add a comment to the bug saying that this is the case (mentioning the PEP explicitly). XXX do we prefer the tracker or PEP 42? 3. Assign the bug a reasonable priority. We don't yet have a clear sense of what each priority should mean. One rule, however, is that bugs with priority "urgent" or higher must be fixed before the next release. 4. If a bug report doesn't have enough information to allow you to reproduce or diagnose it, ask the original submitter for more information. If the original report is really thin and your email doesn't get a response after a reasonable waiting period, you can close the bug. 5. If you fix a bug, mark the status as "Fixed" and close it. In the comments, include the SVN revision numbers of the commit(s). In the SVN checkin message, include the issue number *and* a normal description of the change, mentioning the contributor if a patch was applied. 6. If you are assigned a bug that you are unable to deal with, assign it to someone else if you think they will be able to deal with it, otherwise it's probably best to unassign it.

What is a broker?
Generally speaking, a broker is a person or an entity other than a motor carrier that arranges for the transportation of property by a motor carrier for compensation. A broker does not transport the property and does not assume responsibility for the property.
What is a freight forwarder?
A freight forwarder is a person or entity that holds itself out to the general public as providing transportation of property for compensation and in the ordinary course of its business:
What is freight interlining?
To interline a shipment is to transfer the shipment between two or more carriers for movement to final destination. For example, where the point of origin is Washington, DC and the final destination is Los Angeles, CA, Motor Carrier "A" may transport a shipment from Washington, DC and then interline with Motor Carrier "B" in San Antonio, TX. Motor Carrier "B" will then complete the transportation of the shipment to Los Angeles, CA.
Does FMCSA require an interline carrier to obtain operating authority?
FMCSA requires all non-exempt for-hire interstate motor carriers to obtain operating authority. However, a motor carrier that is performing part of a single continuous transportation as an interline operation can perform that service under either its own operating authority or the authority of the originating motor carrier.
Does a broker process loss and damage claims?
No, a broker assumes no responsibility for the shipment and does not touch the shipment. A claim must be filed with the appropriate motor carrier, which usually would be the delivering carrier or the carrier causing the loss. Brokers may, however, assist shippers in filing claims with the motor carrier on the shipper's behalf.

Sophia Foresta set an ambitious goal for herself last year: The 13-year-old South Jordan resident aimed to be the best BMX rider in her age group in the country.
She did it — and more. Sophia also claimed the national overall top amateur girl's title for 2012, accumulating more points for wins against more competitors than any other female BMX racer in the nation. Sophia is the first female BMXer in Utah to claim both titles.

Post a Comment |
"You can't do anything to win it, you can just try to win every national, and that is all you can do," says Sophia.
In other words, be the best against all comers. Simple, right?
Yeah, if you're Sophia Foresta.
"It's racing," said Mike Kelly of Riverton, who has helped coach Sophia for the past three years. "There is nothing easy. What she did was a heck of an accomplishment."
Kelly and others who have watched Sophia train and race at local BMX tracks say they aren't surprised by Sophia's accomplishment. As a BMX racer, Sophia is fast and furious, with the focus and determination of a true competitor.
"It would have surprised me if she hadn't got it, she's that good," said Kelly. "She has a natural talent that I haven't seen even in boys. ... She is super gifted, and she works very hard."
And the best may be yet to come, they say.
Sophia hopped on her first BMX bike when she was 6-years-old, after watching her younger brother Joey race at Rad Canyon BMX, a Salt Lake County facility located in South Jordan.

"I remember watching how everybody was going so fast and everybody was having so much fun, and I loved riding my bike around the neighborhood, so I thought I would try it," Sophia says.
Yep, it was as fun as it looked.
BMX racers compete on a serpentine dirt track that includes banks, hills and jumps. There are up to eight racers on a track at a time; from start to finish, a race takes just 35 to 45 seconds.
"It's an all-out effort, a combination of strength, agility and skills," says Steve Spencer, sports marketing manager for GT Bicycles.
Sophia started out racing in the novice age group, which at younger ages includes girls and boys — mostly boys.
"They gave me quite a run for my money for quite a while, and then I began to catch up to them," she says.
Within a couple years, she had claimed eight wins and moved up to an all-girls expert class, which included Utah girls who were then the fastest in the country.
"When I started, there were probably more girls than there are now," Sophia says. "Now, everybody has gone to other sports, but we still have a good amount of girls."
There are currently about 50 Utah girls at all age levels competing in BMX.
Sophia tried other sports, too — track and gymnastics — before settling squarely on BMX racing.
"I just enjoyed BMX so much," she says. "It was so much fun to do something unique rather than something everybody hears about all the time."

The final, and perhaps most critical, phase of the closely watched 6th District congressional race began yesterday with the first of four scheduled debates at North Shore Community College campus in Lynn. (The Salem News and Jewish Journal will hold one on Wednesday, Oct. 10, at Danvers High School.)
Incumbent Democrat
John Tierney continues to be dogged about his wife's legal troubles and this week was the subject of an embarrassing Boston Globe story questioning whether the couple should have paid taxes on the more than $200,000 she received from her brother, Robert Eremian, who remains a fugitive from justice in the Caribbean, where he operates an Internet gaming enterprise.
On the other hand, like U.S. Senate candidate
Elizabeth Warren and other Democratic congressional candidates elsewhere in the country, Tierney has likely benefited from the meltdown within the Republican presidential campaign.
Mitt Romney has been losing ground ever since the Tampa convention with one gaffe after another, and seems to be fading in many of the key battleground states that will determine the winner of this year's election. Indeed, one gets the impression these days that GOP vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan is more interested in positioning himself for a run in the top spot four years from now than in helping Romney gain the White House in 2012.
Of course, as with the 6th District race, everything could change depending on how the candidates perform in the upcoming debates.
Though he's been retired for more than a decade, former GE head honcho Jack Welch, a North Salem native, remains a formidable presence via his writing and frequent appearances on national TV.
He's a big supporter of fellow businessman Romney and told Fox News recently that another four years of Obama could be a disaster financially for many, including "retirees like me."
This from someone who, according to Forbes magazine, received benefits worth some $417 million when he retired in 2001, "by far ... the largest severance package paid to any American CEO in the last decade," and $100 million more than his next-closest competitor.
Following the comment, Welch launched into a story about meeting a friend in Nantucket the previous weekend, which would indicate he's not ready to put an application in to the Salem Housing Authority for subsidized digs just yet.
Appearing on one of the Sunday talk shows last weekend, Gov. Deval Patrick defended Obama's economic policies, stating that the "trickle-down" theories espoused by the Republicans "have been shown to fail."
Asked to comment on Democrats' coziness with the union movement in light of the teachers' strike in Chicago then still ongoing, Patrick had nothing but praise for the Bay State unions (MTA and AFT), observing "they were right there with us" in the effort to reform the educational system.

4.15/5 rDev +0.2%
look: 5 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25
Easily one of the darkest stouts I have seen in a while. Beer pours a DARK black molasses color, making light impossible to penetrate this brew. The beer has a beautiful, smooth aroma, topped off with a nice amount of lace and head when poured into a glass. A slight hint of chocolate is abundant and the beer is extraordinarily smooth. Sierra Nevada never let me down and in my opinion it is a toss up between them and Widmer as the best American brewers. An absolute must have, so far the best new beer I've tried in the last 6 months or so.

S - Milk chocolate, nuts, campfire
T - All kinds of chocolate, some smoke, oak, hops, caramel, boozy
M - Exceptionally soft and pillowy, medium body, low carbonation
O - An excellent, fairly easy to find RIS. It's big and boozy with a lot of complexity. I really like this one though it's just a step below that next level.

Hotter'n Hell Hundred
A Place in the Sun
The Hotter'n Hell Hundred rolls riders through one of the bleakest, most godforsaken landscapes imaginable—at a time of year when temperatures regularly top 100 degrees. Why on earth do so many people want to ride it?

Down to the Bone
Go the Distance: Double-Century Training
Photo: Sandy Carson
IN THE EVENING prior to the 2012 start, I met Rob Pluta. An audiologist from Corpus Christi, Pluta was pitching a tent on a bed of mulch in the concrete island of a parking lot near my car. (This is not an uncommon sight; hotel rooms run $250 a night that weekend, with a two-night minimum.) Rob had driven 10 hours to ride Hotter'n Hell, which he called "the granddaddy of them all." He divulged that growing up, he was the fat kid—the last one picked for recess activities. But the following morning, he planned to wake to the sound of tires being pumped and bike cleats clicking in. He would pull his spandex jersey over his svelte physique without a hint of shame, and he would see how far and fast he could ride in the most unforgiving elements Texas could offer.
While Rob is continuing his reinvention, I am pursuing my own agenda. Thirty miles after the firing of the frontier-era cannon, I say goodbye to the hard-charging 25-mph average speed of the lead pack and pull over at rest stop number three. "May I hold your bike?" asks one of the half-dozen teenage volunteers, who are acting as human bicycle racks.
"Why…yes," I answer, already stumbling toward the tubs of energy bars, the trays of cream-filled cookies, the plastic baggies of multi-colored gummy bears.
"Where're you from?" asks a woman pouring ice-cold blue Gatorade into another rider's bottle. "Houston? Well, you brought the humidity up with you from the Gulf, didn't you?" she teases. The ride's volunteer army of more than 4,800 people, many of whom have pitched in to help run Hotter'n Hell for decades, will dispense as many as 20,000 bananas, 8,000 pickles, and 70,000 pounds of ice. In the absence of coastal breezes or mountaintop vistas, these volunteers lift riders' morale, dispensing cheer and nourishing sugary goodness.
I ride on feeling refreshed, a half-empty bag of gummy bears hanging out of my jersey pocket.
THIS IS THE SUN: At 9:30 a.m., it's now eye-level and blinding, unleashing its pure, unrelenting heat. I sail along for the next 20 or so miles, cradled by a comforting tailwind. With about 25 miles left, the century, metric-century, and half-century ride routes converge into one, creating a kaleidoscope of cyclists.
Photo: Sandy Carson
I see a recumbent outfitted with an aerodynamic yellow shell that makes it look like a rolling banana. I see throngs of people riding to raise money and awareness for causes: cancer, MS, and diabetes. I see a man pedaling 100 miles with only his arms, and a group of women costumed as Catholic schoolgirls with plaid skirts, pigtails, and knee-high socks. I see a preteen boy riding a tandem with his dad. And in him, I see myself 20 years ago, incessantly chatting to my own heavily panting dad and impatiently awaiting the next cookie stop.
Eventually I see that one person has been drafting off me for the past quarter hour. He is about my age, fit, Asian, and riding a nice BMC road bike.
I turn to him, and I say, "Hello."
"I'm Shim," he replies.
"Shim," he says. Shim is from South Korea, and stationed at an Air Force base in Lawton, Oklahoma, where he is undergoing artillery training. He woke up at 4 a.m. to make the start of the ride.
"Why?" I ask.
Shim has a limited grasp of English (although it's better than my nonexistant Korean). What he says is, "So many people"—and waves his hand toward the vast herd of cyclists spread across the road ahead of us. I let it drop.
Shim and I visit nearly every rest stop over the final leg of the ride. At number seven, someone hands Shim a tiny white Dixie cup full of green fluid. "Pickle juice," I tell him, a North Texas staple endorsed by Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten as an all-natural sports drink. Clearly, Shim doesn't understand. He downs the juice like a swig of Jim Beam. Then he scrunches his face, gags, hurls the cup into a nearby trashcan, and stomps off. Not long after, Shim discovers snow cones drowned in sugary red syrup, which he finds just as novel but much tastier.
In the town of Burkburnett, only a mile from the muddy shores of the Red River and the Oklahoma border, Shim and I pull up to a themed rest stop, dubbed Margaritaville. We are greeted by a group of Midwestern State University sorority girls wearing Hawaiian leis and holding trays of fresh orange slices. (The ride's entry fees help fund cycling scholarships for the Wichita Falls-based university.) I photograph Shim standing in front of a faux beach, with palm trees and a kiddie pool, as Jimmy Buffett songs blare in the background. We wipe our faces with cool towelettes and return to our bikes.

As we turn south onto a 10-mile stretch of service road alongside Interstate 44, a head wind like God's blow-dryer smacks me in the face.
"This is going to suck," I say to Shim.
"I don't understand this word, suck?"
"You will," I tell him.

Who doesn't love riding 100 miles with 13,000 of their closest friends. FYI - Shim is at Ft. Sill, an Army post in Lawton, OK.

Ronald Bailey, over at Hit & Run, asks, "Should a person who is dying of an incurable illness be allowed to donate his organs before the disease kills him?" This strikes me as a very odd question to ask, especially given who is doing the asking. Hit & Run is the blog for Reason Magazine, a publication I have been led to believe has some libertarian bent. Yet, oddly, it seems they are still mulling over the most fundamental principle of libertarianism: self-ownership.
Once it is recognized that the fellow from the story, Gary Phebus, is a self-owner, the answer to Bailey's initial question becomes blindingly obvious – a resounding yes. What would it mean to be a self-owner but be unable to use one's body and its parts as one wished? Surely, any libertarian must recognize the right to commit suicide and the right to donate one's organs after death, which is all this amounts to. Why the struggle?
