Poor naked wretches, whereso'er you are,
That bide the pelting of this pitiless storm,
How shall your houseless heads and unfed sides,
Your looped and windowed raggedness, defend you
From seasons such as these? O, I have ta'en
Too little care of this! Take physic, pomp;
Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel,
That thou mayst shake the superflux to them
And show the heavens more just.
(Shakespeare, King Lear)
You may recall that these words are spoken by Lear as he is caught in a storm on a heath, having been denied refuge by the daughters whom he loved to distraction. Although, in his erstwhile feudal ways.
Could there be a more eloquently acute talisman for anyone in power who professes to be doing politics not to enrich the already enriched but the dregs of the realm?
You may have noticed that Lear's painful realization of misery falls into two conceptual concerns: one, what hope have the "naked wretches" against the storms of dispossession, given their "houseless heads and unfed sides" and their "looped and windowed raggedness" (some two hundred Indians have already died from the current cold wave in north India for lack of food, shelter, and clothing), followed by his agonized self-reproach at having "ta'en too little care of this!"
And, following from those admissions, the invocation to "pomp" (a metaphor for all varieties of self-absorbed blindness born of authority) to "take physic" (medicine remedying that blindness) and "expose thyself to feel what wretches feel" as a morally enabling resolve to disgorge themselves of "superflux" (the manifold trappings of acquisitive greed) and thereby be better placed to implement god's just purposes.
So why am I suddenly taken with this context in Lear's movement from hauteur, complacence, imperial noblesse towards a revulsion against self-absorption born of endowments, and towards empathy with those who have been at the receiving end of that self-absorption?
Reading what our well-intentioned prime minister said in his address the other day to Speakers of sundry parliaments from the Commonwealth countries, the Bard sprang to my mind, as he so often does in so many contemporary contexts.
To wit, the otherwise piety-ridden Manmohan Singh expressed deep apprehension at the vile attempts of some "extremists" to cause unacceptable imbalances and dethronements in the orderly project of the peaceful enhancement of mainline developmental concerns, piloted no doubt by men in power who know best.
So it struck me, not for the first time, how little a part of that enhancement seemed, despite politic pronouncements from time to time, meant to touch the lives of the "poor naked wretches" of whom India still comprises some two thirds of its population.
It struck me that none of those politic pronouncements ever carry the agonized charge of Lear's "O, I have taken too little care of this!" Or the least resolve to "take physic" inorder to "feel what wretches feel."
It also struck me how negligible a recognition obtains in our power structure of the "extreme" nature of the mainline model of development so dear to our prime minister, since what else but "extreme" would you call a model that fattens the fat all the time and impoverishes the impoverished all the time as well? For example, just today's bitter news in India: sugar will now sell at Rs.50/- a kilogram! So no longer even the comfort of that warm and sweet cup of tea for some 70 or more percent of Indians as the cold solidifies into needles and pins.
I also recalled the defence that has often been proferred by those who measure progress in terms of the gross national product, namely, that "extreme" conditions (drought, flood, global warming, market crashes) call for "extreme" measures on behalf of those in charge. Yet, why that same argument may not extend to "extreme" recourses taken by the "naked wretches" in India's orphaned "hinterlands" I do not know. As Mr.Podsnap might do in Dickens' magnificent novel about the workings and consequences of finance capitalism at its point of inauguration in the middle of the nineteenth century, such questions are simply not to be admitted even if such refusals bore holes in the official logic itself.
It is easily conceded by the establishment that a team of explorers sent to the ant-arctic's "extreme" conditions must be suitably equipped with clothing and other wherewithal that may seem awful and outré in ordinary circumstance, but that is needed in those "extreme" conditions for survival. Or, that a party that goes bear hunting must be equally equipped for the "extreme" exigencies that might surely offer themselves. Do recall that some two decades ago a plane crashed into the Andes mountains. For two whole weeks the survivors had no morsel. And then it was that their "extreme" condition led them to feed off the passengers who lay dead in the ice.
Thus, "extreme" responses, after all, do imply "extreme" aggravations. It is a comfort yet that millions of Indians who find little or nothing to eat for many months do not yet eat the dead, but make do with grass, or leather, although sometimes carcases of dead animals as well.
Yet it is not conceded that "naked wretches" with "houseless heads and unfed sides" and "looped and windowed raggedness"—extreme conditions by anyone's reckoning one would think—might be equally justified in taking recourse to "extreme" measures for survival. Don't know why.
Or why it is that those who admire the anti-establishment rebel heroes in Bollywood movies (whom they also often honour on stage) who are often shown to liquidate the policeman, the politician, the businessman, the judge in a rage against injustice in extreme disregard of the sanctities of the "system" feel great revulsion when those cinematic enactments of "extreme" careers surface in the actual rough and tumble of everyday life. Don't know why. Why is it that we find all those bravados "true to life's conditions" but bring to bear every unjust chicanery to quell such bravados when they are attempted off screen?
At such times it is not unusual to be told how, after all, that "our basest beggars are, in their poorest things, superfluous" (Lear again). Things are hardly as bad, we say, as the radical rabble rousers would have us believe.
Every regime that seeks at bottom to consolidate the endowed middle ground of the power structure and the polity nevertheless also, in a democracy, requires popular legitimation every now and then. Thank democracy for that much, even if those legitimations remain illusory and perfunctory (no government in India, except once since 1950 has ruled with a majority mandate yet.)
Thus it is that such projects as the Indian "National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme" come into being to ameliorate the "extreme" pressures generated by the race for higher and higher capital accumulation, that race for the GDP which in capitalist societies defines status and prowess.
"Poor naked wretches" are thus handed out just enough to remain this side of absolute starvation, even as their labour is appropriated at a vast scale to raise infrastructures without which no GDP may grow any further. Marx and Marxist thinkers after Marx saw in this a strategy to do two things: reproduce the relations of production (wage labour to Capital) on a continuous basis, and simultaneously to claim to be addressing the "extreme" conditions in which the masses subsist, if at all.
But when you remember that the NREGS is now also christened the "Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme" another thought springs to mind.
Gandhi was once asked how one could determine the rightness or wrongness of a thought or course of action. Which is when he proferred his admirable talisman: "ask yourself if the thought or the course of action you contemplate would bear benefit to the most wretched face you may ever have seen; if the answer is yes, then you are on the right path."
It may well be argued that this precisely is the object behind the NREGS; and given the "extreme" conditions in which India's "poor naked wretches" subsist from hour to hour, the argument may not be all too fallacious. The question to ask, though, is whether this objective informs the totality of India's model of development—which is what Gandhi would have asked as well.
With the enlightened King of Bhutan, Gandhi might have said that human growth in the collective ought to be measured not as Gross Domestic Product but as Gross Domestic Happiness, a wholly different perspective about the purposes of wielding political power.
And Gandhi would have agreed that "extreme" forms of behaviour among the polity cannot be remedied until such time as the "extreme" nature of sectarian objectives we propose to ourselves as principles of "development" and governance do not yield to systemic efforts to generate happiness in the widest commonality (in Wordworthian phrase).
And he would have pointed out that no just dispensation denies the truth of an argument which it finds congenial in its own defence to others whom it disinherits.
Why then should not the piety-ridden chief executive of this land of many spiritualities (and what spirituality condones discrimination, injustice, or exploitation, not to speak of an unequal use of force to suppress "poor naked wretches"?) recognize the ethical and human superiority of the concept of Gross Domestic Happiness over Gross Domestic Product? And in doing so, revise his thesis about the many "extremisms" that beset the land?
He may recall that even the Congress party that led the movement against colonial oppression at one point found itself divided between what came to be called the "extremists" and the "moderates" (Jacobins and Girondists?). And the "extremists" were led by no less a figure than Bal Gangadhar Tilak. And it was their position that Constitutional methods or modalities alone could not be trusted to deliver freedom.
It is after all a poor argument for any state to make to the "poor naked wretches" that, however genuine or extreme your conditions, obedience alone defines your status as citizens. Think how often that argument has been made, and how often it has had to bite the dust.

YES Dress to treat the Torah with respect. Don Levey
What's your opinion? Visit the Spring 2011 issue home page to vote YES or NO on whether congregations should require a dress code for Shabbat aliyah.
As Jews, we are very fortunate. The holiest day on our calendar comes every week: Shabbat. It is the time when we Reform Jews most often hear the Torah read, making it extra special. And being called to the bimah to chant the Torah blessings is perhaps the highest honor any of us will ever receive in our congregations.
And yet, sometimes individuals who receive this honor are dressed in a disrespectful manner. It is as if they forget that an aliyah is not only for themselves and for the congregation, but for all those who have come before us. So precious is the Torah that a b'nai mitzvah prayer reads: "It was carried in the arms of parents that their children might not be deprived of their birthright." Esau may have scorned his birthright, but we are the children of Israel.
Some of us contend that to remain fully inclusive and not drive anyone away, we should not impose a dress code of any kind. But some people have left precisely because they feel we do a disservice to Shabbat, Torah, and Judaism by failing to take a position on this issue.
I am not advocating that we legislate that men wear jackets and ties, and women blouses and skirts; nor do I propose that any dress code for Shabbat aliyot be instituted Movement-wide. But I believe that each congregation does need to set a minimum standard to ensure that the Torah is treated with honor and respect—particularly when we ascend the bimah for an aliyah.
We rise as a congregation when the ark is opened, out of respect and honor. Is it too much to ask that we show the same respect as individuals? Don Levey, a member of Temple Beth Am, Framingham, Massachusetts, has been teaching in Reform religious schools for more than 30 years.
NO Clothes don't make the man spiritual. Rick Blumenthal
At my temple there is no dress code, and I am relieved. Many a Friday, after a long day of work, my family and I have a Shabbat meal and we go to temple. Slacks (occasionally jeans), a polo shirt, and sandals are my typical attire. Since I am comfortable in my clothes, I am able to focus on why I am at temple, not how much my feet hurt or what a schlep it was to hurry home and get changed. I relax and try to get in tune with my spirituality, rethinking what I could have done better this week and letting the prayers and songs fill me up.
If I know ahead of time that I am being called to the bimah for an aliyah, I usually wear shoes and put on my tallit, but if I'm called upon to open the ark while wearing sandals, I ask myself, what would Moses do (WWMD), and accept the honor. After all, did he wear a tie and jacket? Did God like Moses any less for praying in sandals?
To those Jews who feel that I am distracting worshipers by dressing down, I say, "Spirituality needs to start from within and work its way out." And to those who want to legislate what we wear in temple, I ask, "What about other potential distractions, such as strong perfumes or ostentatious dress with jewels galore?"
I prefer to focus on the things I have in common with my fellow congregants—the rich heritage of Judaism that has survived so many attempts to destroy it; the belief in one God and in peace, community service, shared lifecycle events, and friendships.
So if you see me on Shabbat in jeans and sandals, wish me "Shabbat Shalom." I will wish you the same, regardless of what you are wearing. Dr. Rick Blumenthal serves as religious practice vice president of Temple Beth David, Westminster, California.

The Story Behind Crush it!
Everything has changed. The social media revolution has irreversibly changed the way we live our lives and conduct our business. There are billions of dollars in advertising moving online, waiting to be claimed by whoever can build the best content and communities. Despite this change, most people keep working at jobs that don't make them happy and businesses continue to ignore the major marketing and public relations benefits that can be found online.
Myth #1: I'm not passionate about something sexy or popular like wine so these lessons don't apply to me.
The internet has drastically decreased the costs of building communities around niche subjects, allowing for even the most obscure subjects to draw enough eyeballs to command advertising attention. Starting a video blog about tortilla chips may seem farfetched until Doritos gives you a call and offers 40,000 a year to sponsor and advertise on your blog.
Myth #2: My business already has a Twitter account and a Facebook page, we're set in the social media department.
This is the equivalent of claiming twenty years ago that just because your business bought a TV spot and a few ads in the newspaper, you didn't need to pay attention to your advertising department. Social media isn't about joining in, it's about being involved.
Myth #3: I'm happy at my job so this book is irrelevant to me.
First of all, congratulations on finding work that makes you happy! However, the lessons in this book are valuable to anyone, regardless of their employment status. Crush It will show you how to utilize high level and platform specific social media and marketing strategies that will improve your work. It will also show you how to build a personal brand so that even if you're forced to leave your job, a situation that's especially relevant today, you'll be able to easily find employment elsewhere in a field you're passionate about.
Myth #4: I need to quit my job to take advantage of this book's entrepreneurial lessons.
While the entrepreneurial strategies in this book do take time, it's completely reasonable to start the effort as an after-work project to build up until you're able to replace your current income with the income from your online presence. While you may have to fall behind on the current season of Lost or let your Madden 2010 game suffer, because you'll be doing something you love you won't mind putting in the extra effort.
In Crush It, Gary Vaynerchuk shows how anyone can build a career around what they're passionate about. He also delivers both high-level and platform specific strategy and analysis, allowing you to take advantage of the current business environment while preparing you to succeed as it changes and evolves.
This book isn't interested in making unrealistic promises while glossing over the work involved. Making a living by building content around your passion isn't simple and it doesn't happen overnight. What it is, however, is fulfilling and in most cases just as profitable, if not more so, than your previous job.
Furthermore, a business can't just pay lip service to social media and expect it to return results. The transparency and accountability inherent in its structure necessitates a comprehensive and dedicated strategy in order to reap its tremendous benefits.
By combining practical analysis and strategy with the same passion and humor that's made Gary one of the most in demand keynote speakers in the U.S. as well as network television's go to wine expert, Crush It is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand and harness the future of business and work.
Learn: Why social media has evened the playing field, destroying the "gate-keepers" who had previously dictated the distribution of content.
Learn: How to beat unemployment and create wealth-building opportunities by building and maintaining a personal brand.
Learn: Why storytelling is the most important business concept in the current marketplace.
Learn: How you can build an online business around your passion without quitting your day job.
Learn: Why Twitter and Facebook are just tools and not a social media strategy.
Learn: How to take advantage of the half-billion dollars in advertising that are moving to the internet.
Learn: Why transparency and being true to yourself are now winning marketing formulas.
Learn: How to build and maintain an online community around your passion and brand.
Learn: Strategies for turning attention into money.
Learn: Why the legacy element of the internet era is so underrated.

Fourteen Killed on Kentucky Roadways During Labor Day Holiday Period
Date of News Release: 9/7/2004
(FRANKFORT, Ky.) - Preliminary statistics* show that 14 people died in 10 separate crashes on Kentucky´s roadways during the 2004 Labor Day holiday period. The number of fatalities increased by three from the 2003 Labor Day holiday period during which 11 people died in 11 crashes.
Of the 10 fatal Labor Day holiday crashes, preliminary data indicates alcohol was a suspected factor in three of the crashes. Ten of the 14 victims were not wearing seat belts.
One triple fatality crash occurred in Carter County. Two double fatality crashes were reported, one in Kenton County and one in Powell County. Single fatality crashes occurred in Boone, Bracken, Laurel, Logan, Magoffin, Pike and Webster counties.
The official Labor Day holiday period ran from 6 p.m. Friday Sept. 3, 2004 through 11:59 p.m. Monday, Sept. 6, 2004. All statistics are from that time period.
As of Sept. 6, Kentucky has recorded 636 highway fatalities in 2004. Last year at this time, 619 people had lost their lives on Kentucky roadways.
*These statistics are still preliminary as KSP waits for all local law enforcement agencies to report any crashes and fatalities that may have occurred in their areas.

Welsh Government unveils plans for £40m spending on apprenticeships
The Welsh Government has set out how it will spend £40m on apprentices over the next two years.
More than 30,000 people signed up for schemes last year, but critics say not enough apprenticeships lead to full-time opportunities.
The plans outlined today include:
- Creating 5,650 new apprenticeship places
- An enhanced wage subsidy of £3,900 over 52 weeks for employers taking on young apprentices aged 16-24 through the Young Recruits Programme
- A one-off payment of £500 for small and micro businesses to cover the time and costs they said were a barrier to recruiting apprentices
- £3.4m to support people who wish to do apprenticeships in the Welsh language
Shadow Minister for Business, Nick Ramsay, said that although it offered valuable experience he feared the scheme wouldn't lead to full time permanent jobs.
Kirsty Davies is six months into a four-year apprenticeship, training to be a mechanical engineer.
She said that has "always liked being hands on, and I get to gain my qualifications at the same time - so for me it was the best option."
This year's Apprenticeship Week is going on at the moment, with open, taster and advice sessions around Wales.

Reporting Academic Integrity Violations
Faculty who suspect a student may have engaged in an Academic Integrity Violation are strongly encouraged to consult with staff in the Office of Student Conduct & Academic Integrity (OSCAI) regarding the applicability of the Code of Student Conduct, potential courses of action, and guidance on imposing appropriate sanctions. A staff member in OSCAI can be reached by calling (757) 683-3431. Please note: graduate students are normally reviewed for suspension or expulsion, even for a first academic integrity violation.
Faculty should submit a referral to OSCAI within 10 business days of the alleged violation's discovery. Submitting written referrals is essential to the University's ability to address patterns of academic integrity violations, and to developmentally determine appropriate sanctions based on the totality of the student's record.
Faculty are encouraged to meet with the student prior to submitting a referral in order to discuss the allegation and/or seek a voluntary resolution. If the faculty member meets with the student and the student denies the allegation, or the faculty member believes the severity of the alleged violation warrants a response greater than a grade sanction, the faculty member should refer the matter directly to the Office of Student Conduct & Academic Integrity for a hearing by submitting the online referral form.
If the faculty member meets with the student, the student acknowledges the violation, and the faculty member is satisfied that the incident can be effectively resolved with a grade sanction, the faculty member should ask the student to sign the Academic Integrity Voluntary Resolution Form (or have the student email the faculty member from the student's ODU-supplied email account) to indicate the student's acceptance of the proposed resolution.
- A copy of the signed Academic Integrity Voluntary Resolution Form (if the student acknowledged the violation and accepted the proposed resolution)
- A copy of the course syllabus
- Copies of any relevant communications between the faculty member and the student
- Copies of written assignment instructions (if not contained in the syllabus)
- Copies of assignments or exams (when relevant to cheating, though please note the student may have full access to these assignments/exams and any answer keys provided)
- In cases of plagiarism, faculty should provide a copy of the student's paper and the source text(s) from which the faculty member suspects the student has plagiarized. The student paper should have suspicious passages highlighted and numbered to correspond to highlighted and numbered passages in the source text(s). These copies will help identify passages and sources of concern.
To assist faculty in reporting violations, the Office of Student Conduct & Academic Integrity has developed an online Academic Integrity Referral form. The online referral form provides an overview of the reporting process and enables faculty to submit a complete referral directly to OSCAI.
Referrals submitted online are preferred, though hand delivered copies or copies sent via USPS mail or campus mail will also be accepted.
No grade sanction should be assigned until the referral is finally resolved, including the process of considering the student's appeal, if any. Should the referral not be resolved prior to the end of the semester, a grade of "I" should be assigned. Faculty should allow the student to remain enrolled in their course and grade all other assignments as they normally would while the case is pending. Faculty will receive written notification of the final outcome of the case so that an appropriate grade may be assigned.
Promoting Academic Integrity
Faculty are encouraged to spend time in their courses discussing the importance of ethical academic conduct, making sure to highlight the underlying reasons why academic integrity matters to the institution, to one's academic discipline, to the faculty member personally, and to students.
Faculty can supplement these discussions by including appropriate language in their syllabi to reinforce expectations, explain university policies, and highlight any special academic integrity considerations related to their course or academic discipline.
At any time, faculty are welcome to invite a staff member from the Office of Student Conduct & Academic Integrity to present to their class regarding students' responsibilities as citizens of the academic community. Through dialogue and education, we can affirm our collective commitment to academic integrity.

Man pushes blazing car away from homes
6:00am Friday 14th March 2014 in News By Caroline Tilley
A BRAVE resident pushed a car to safety just before it exploded into flames on a driveway.
Neighbours watched on in horror as the purple car spontaneously combusted in Ravenscourt Drive, Vange, yesterday morning.
The resident heard screaming from the owner of the vehicle outside, before dashing out to help.
He reached inside the burning vehicle where he is believed to have released the handbrake, before pushing the car out into the middle of the residential road, away from nearby houses and flats.
There, flames burst from the bonnet before quickly engulfing the vehicle. Residents dialled 999, sending police and firefighters racing to the scene.
One neighbour, 50, said: "I thought a bomb had gone off. I was sitting in my flat and the engine just blew up with a huge bang. I really couldn't believe it.
Thankfully, no one was sat in it at the time."
Resident Glynne Pugh, 69, was at his computer when his wife rushed into the room to tell of the drama.
He said: "She said there was a huge car fire. I didn't believe it.
"The man was so brave to go and help, and so were the firefighters.
They were brilliant.
"There was smoke and fire everywhere.
"It just blew up. I'm just happy no one was hurt."
Basildon firefighters rushed to the scene at about 10am to fight the fire. They had dealt with the situation by 10.30am.
A spokesman said: "A neighbour helped by getting the car into the middle of the road and off the drive. He's a local hero."
He added the fire was not being treated as suspicious and is thought to have started because of engine failure.
Police stayed at the scene into the early afternoon to block off the end of the road so the car could be removed.

Talk about a test of faith. Just two days before a series of 13 Easter services was set to begin, the church installed a new Flying Pig Systems Wholehog® III control system.
Jon Griffin, the full-time lighting designer/director for Saddleback Valley Community Church in Lake Forest, CA, had no qualms about installing a new console before such a string of shows, as he was already familiar with the console's predecessor, the Wholehog II console. "I knew it would be a success," Griffin says. "I love the Hog III. I took a conversion course (a training process of going from Wholehog II to Wholehog III) with Mike Hanson at High End Systems Los Angeles. Flying Pig Systems has been extremely helpful resolving issues with new builds all the time. With both the console and the wings, I have the flexibility we needed in the venue."
The 3,500-seat main worship center offers six services every weekend, with other events during the week. "For the most part, the main services are very generic," Griffin explains. "The fixtures are generally not seen moving. But for concerts, it's no holds barred." There are several smaller venues throughout the campus also which will be updated soon with newer fixtures and accessories, he adds.
Griffin says he quickly put the Wholehog III control system to the test. The Hog III along with a Programming Wing and a Playback Wing arrived on a Tuesday afternoon. On Wednesday, he spent the day hanging lights and programming, and Thursday was the start of 13 Easter services. "The Hog showed its power by keeping everything under control and still giving me the flexibility that we needed," he notes. "Now we are able to expand further."

Astros' rotation almost set
Cooper to make decision on No. 5 starter at later time
KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- As Opening Day approaches, Astros manager Cecil Cooper appears to have his first four starting pitchers lined up. The rotation will begin with Roy Oswalt, with Brandon Backe following as the No. 2, Wandy Rodriguez as the projected No. 3 and Shawn Chacon as the No. 4.
The fifth spot is up for grabs, with three contenders still in the running: Woody Williams, Jack Cassel and Chris Sampson.
"That could change," Cooper warned. "As the next week unfolds, that's how it's looking right now."
Chacon's sterling five-inning performance against the Braves on Wednesday night solidified his spot in the rotation. Williams has struggled for much of the spring, and his status with the team is both unstable and unclear. He'll likely receive two more starts through the remainder of the exhibition season -- on Sunday against the Braves in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., and next Friday against the Tigers at Minute Maid Park in Houston.
The two candidates who do not make the rotation will receive consideration as a long reliever in the bullpen. Asked if Williams could possibly make the team in that capacity, Cooper was non-committal.
"It's a possibility," Cooper said. "You don't want to say, 'Yay' or rule it out. We'll see how it works out and make a decision when that time comes."

location, staff, clean
Superb location between Lombard Street and Fisherman's Wharf. Comfortable beds and a fantastic breakfast. Team are great.
Wi-Fi was really bad, decoration is dated and tasteless. The bar was never open when we wanted a drink. The bathroom and bath itself are tiny.

From crowdsurfing to AWOLNATION's "Sail" to belting of Pat Benatar's "We Belong" while standing on a golden grand piano, Raleigh's Kat Robichaud gave some of the most memorable performances on last season's "The Voice."
Still, while she admirably made it to the Top-10 of the competition, she was sent home. But that didn't mean Kat was going to stop pursuing a career in music.
Far from it.
The Concord native launched a Kickstarter campaign Monday morning to record and release her first post-"The Voice" album; and Kat said the idea for the campaign came from her experience on the show, which she said "is an incredible platform for helping you get your name out there."
"The whole reason I wanted to do the Kickstarter was because of the Twitter Instant Save on 'The Voice,'" Kat said. "I've never been picked for anything growing up; I was always the last one to get picked on the team."
During the second week of live performances, Kat was saved from elimination by a last-minute Instant Save. The Instant Save window opens for five minutes while fans tweet "#VoiceSave" along with the name of the artist they wanted to save.
"When the Twitter save happened, I remember I just looked at my husband and my mom in the audience, and I said, 'I'm going home,'" Kat recalled. "When they called my name, I was just like, 'WHAT?' It was incredible. In five minutes all these amazing people around the world came together and saved me."
Now, a little more than 16 hours after her Kickstarter campaign officially launched, Kat is once again seeing her fans coming together to help her achieve her dreams. Her campaign has had more than 150 backers pledge more than $10,000 toward her $20,000 goal. And the campaign still has 29 days to go.
"Having this happen again and seeing people contribute this morning, it's incredible," Kat said.
With a Kickstarter campaign, Kat explained that she has the flexibility of not having to pay an overhead to a record label while giving fans a more personal experience. She said the Kickstarter allows the fans to contribute to process of recording and releasing an album.
"It's just like, 'Hey, I want to put this album out, you guys want me to put an album out, let's get together and make this happen,'" Kat said. "Kickstarter is a really great way to be very direct with your fans -- there's no middle man."
Fan who contribute to the Kickstarter campaign are rewarded based on pledge amount. For example, a pledge of $2 will net a digital download of the completed album, while a pledge of $5,000 will score a private concert from Kat at your house. "If there's a pool, I'm throwing the patio furniture in and we're pretending we're acrobats," the Kickstarter describes.
"I decided to do it through it Kickstarter rather than a record label because the wonderful thing about Kickstarter is that if you donate, you get so much more than if you were to just go out and buy an album," Kat said. "It's just a really great way to directly connect with the fans and keep that going."
For those who may not be familiar with her career prior to "The Voice," Kat said fans can expect more of what they saw on show -- namely theatrics and rock 'n' roll.
"I'm very much influenced by the '70s glam rock -- I really love Queen, David Bowie and ELO -- but if you saw me on 'The Voice,' you saw that I also really love performing," Kat said. "It's just going to be a rock 'n' roll explosion. You're going to hear a lot of influences in there, but it's also very new and it's me -- there's only one."
Kat also pointed to one of her biggest idols as a major influence on the album's style.
"One of my biggest idols is Amanda Palmer, and she's big on the cabaret rock," Kat said. "She's been really amazing with helping me get my Kickstarter together, so I feel very fortunate."
Kat's Kickstarter campaign ends at 2:56 a.m. on March 5. The project will only be funded if the full $20,000 is pledged by that deadline.
The sixth season of "The Voice" is slated to premiere on Feb. 24 with stalwart coaches Adam Levine and Blake Shelton as well as Shakira and Usher stepping in for CeeLo Green and Christina Aguilera.

As the deacon overseeing Mars Hill Kids at the Ballard church, I have had the tremendous blessing to serve alongside some truly wonderful volunteers in our mission to make disciples. I have also had the honor of being the sponsor for several Mars Hill interns. These people give and serve sacrificially on Sundays and throughout the week to help advance the mission of Mars Hill, and they are a huge blessing to the staff, to the congregation, and to the church as a whole. This last October marked the end of a 14-month commitment given by three Mars Hill Kids interns. I am proud to say they have served with humility, integrity, and glad hearts. I asked Melissa of them to write about the joys, hardships, and overall experiences of being a Mars Hill intern so that I could share her words with the parents of Mars Hill Kids. Here is what she had to say.
I don't even remember how I found out about the Mars Hill internship at first. I didn't think I would get it, but I also knew I wanted to learn about teaching kids about God. A year later, I was welcomed on as an intern in Kids Ministry! Here are some snapshots of my 14 months in that internship.
1. Great teams help people grow
I had a great team during my internship comprising fellow interns, staff, and volunteers. I felt tremendous support, encouragement, friendship, and grace in every conversation. God has used each one of these people to show me his grace and love. He's also used them in my growth—socially, personally, and in my faith, specifically in my understanding of salvation and my prayer life. My team saw me where I was and spoke into my life through their personal experiences. Through readings, discussions, and teachings, they helped build my theology as well as my knowledge of Christianity in relation to my head, heart, and hands. The children also spoke into my life through their questions, fears, knowledge, and faith, and the weekly lessons showed me new Bible verses and applications.
2. Community is family
During the internship, I was around the church building often and got to meet a fair amount of members, visitors, regular attenders, and volunteers. Interacting with so many people and seeing their investment in each other reminded me that God's plan is for us to be in community to walk alongside each other. As I observed the families I interacted with, I saw God's plan for legacy as the parents live as intentional disciple-makers of their children and how that impacts the children and the parents themselves. I felt a community bond grow between the staff and church members and myself throughout my time as an intern, and it's a bond that continues today.
This community is invested and interested in my life and I in theirs. It is a community with a support that is as genuine as family. This community was a huge blessing as I felt their honest concern, prayers, and advice as I experienced struggles and blessings. I realized towards the end of the internship that God confirmed Mars Hill Ballard as my home church and that he has me in Ballard with a heart on mission for the neighborhood and church.
3. With Jesus, there's no such thing as a small moment
From the 7:45 a.m. prayer time to the close of the 7 p.m. service, it truly is "all about Jesus." It was amazing to see God touch the lives of so many people and to get to witness it. I saw connections on Sundays that never stopped to amaze me—something or someone who was prayed for in the morning, connected unplanned through the truth spoken in Kids Ministry, and was reaffirmed through Scripture and worship at the evening service.
While Sundays where days of long hours, God gave me experiences throughout the week to give of myself and to see him: holding a child's hand, answering phone calls, doing laundry, talking with parents, or listening to the needs of volunteers might have been insignificant moments had God not used them. Not every situation came easy or ended the way I hoped, but when my pride and ego got crushed, it made room for seeing God.
Throughout the internship, I was guided by my team, community, and the Holy Spirit to look at situations and relationships with Jesus as conqueror, servant, sacrifice, forgiver and Savior and myself at his feet. My identities as teacher, helper, and "nice person" have been things I've held on to pretty tightly. I was shown how God uses something he has gifted to us as a talent, skill, or interest to see our sin and his glory. He also has shown me that he sees me as his child, whom he patiently pursues, repeatedly teaches, and always loves.
Forever grateful,

Man charged in crane driver murder
7:15am Thursday 24th May 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
A 25-year-old man arrested in Italy has been charged with murdering a crane driver whose body was found in his burnt-out car in Britain.
Arben Lleshi, of Onslow Road, Southampton, was detained in the capital Rome on May 11 in connection with the death of 29-year-old Agim Hoxha.
Mr Hoxha's body was discovered in his Mercedes in Chilworth on the outskirts of Southampton on April 10, prompting a murder inquiry by Hampshire's major investigation team code-named Operation Wedgewood.
Police said Lleshi was escorted back to the UK on Wednesday accompanied by British officers and will appear at Southampton Magistrates' Court.
Last month Lleshi's brother Afrin Lleshi, 36, of Shirley Road, Southampton, was remanded in custody by magistrates charged with perverting the course of justice. He will appear at Southampton Crown Court in June.

More PCS Aftermath
Today I continued with my data entry. Wayne couldn't stop thanking me after I had finished. He told me it would really help later when they need to contact the people that had registered. Even though I was working at a computer I felt happy that I was helping assist someone in their dreams of flying. Well, I might not be directly helping, but I am assisting in the long run. I also want to take a moment to thank Catlin for my fast typing skills without it I would be lost. After that job I worked with Amy. Do you remember her? She also works in the school. At the Pilot Career Seminar they had another raffle for Cessna training. People also had to register for that so I helped Amy enter the data into a spread sheet that would be sent to the company hosting the raffle. Once that was done I worked with Daniela. I helped her rename and print photos of the Chinese students. I can't wait for tomorrow! I get to experience another barbecue, but this time it's at Hillsboro instead of Troutdale. See you later!

After a long pause in the speaking game, I am back.
It's since April that I haven't been on stage, and it is now time to resume my public duties.
Object-relational mapping (ORM) frameworks have been around for several years now and for some people, ORM is already outdated by now. As we have seen with other technologies and concepts before, PHP is not exactly what we call an early adopter among the programming languages. Thus it took some time for ORM to grow up in the PHP context.
There have been some frameworks before Doctrine 2 that implement ORM (remember e.g. Propel) specific tasks but most of them lack the required maturity to be used in large projects. With Doctrine 2, PHP takes a huge step into the right direction Doctrine 2 is fast, extensible and easy to use.
This article will take you on a tour through the main concepts of Doctrine 2 in the first part and then explain how to use it in[Read more...]

Playing chess within MySQL? Over the network? In the .. cloud? Yes!
This is a follow-up post of my 'A chessboard in MySQL' where we create and populate a chessboard. But pieces need to move, and a few wondered how. Easy!
As an example, white openes with 1.e4:
mysql> BEGIN;
mysql> UPDATE chessboard SET e='♙' WHERE x = 4;
mysql> UPDATE chessboard SET e='' WHERE x = 2;
mysql> COMMIT;

Yesterday we held our PHP BBQ event at Munich, well it was no BBQ as the weather forecasts predicted rain,which came in the evening, but a nice evening in a beer garden.
We had more than 30 people there, some leaving early, sme arriving late, covering quite different kinds of participants: PHP core developers, professional PHP users, people doing PHP stuff as hobby, friends and PHP community veterans like Till Gerken. Many people didn't know each other or didn't see each other or some time so we had lot's of discussions, and most of them even weren't about PHP and even many non-IT things were covered, which I find always great. If you want an impression check Ulf's photos. I really hope this makes a good foundation for more regular PHP meetups.

Sometimes one has weird ideas, or am I the only one? - This specific one is at least a year old, now, during the Christmas days, waiting for New Year's Eve I had the time and mood to finally try it out: MySQL 5.1 has a plugin interface to easily add storage engines. PHP can easily embedded into other applications. So why not combine these two things? - Writing a MySQL Storage Engine which reads data by calling a PHP script.

This week has gone bye so fast it's kinda scary. I got dragged into one meeting after another design session after another knowledge transfer opportunity for 5 days in a row. After our long working days, the discussions and talks just continued over dinner and beers.
It was great to meet everyone and as always we had a good time around the office and at the Ale House. I even managed to stay sober this time around. Well at least most of the time.
As always, the thing that struck me the most was how fast Pentaho changes. It's almost like visiting a different company every time I drop in. Since I don't see the day-to-day changes around the office, the difference between the first time I visited (15 people) and now (70+) is striking. The office[Read more...]

Carl Oglesby was once the president of the original Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). Before that he was working for a defense contractor. His last project with the company was to develop a method of delivering Agent Orange so that it would cover the Vietnamese jungle (and the humans therein) with the chemical as thoroughly and cheaply as possible. He was typical of his generation. He was a political liberal, was married, and believed in his work. Then a moment of cognitive dissonance occurred when John F. Kennedy was murdered and his company refused to lower the flag to half-mast until ordered to do so by the corporate headquarters. Something clicked in Oglesby's brain and he suddenly realized that there were fellow citizens that did not like even the mild liberalism of JFK. These citizens, he realized, enjoyed profiting from war and saw their mission to save the world from anyone and anything that opposed
For the next five or so years, Carl Oglesby devoted a good portion of his life to SDS and opposing the war in
Recently, his memoirs of the period, titled Ravens In the Storm, were published by Scribners. The book is an interesting read that chronicles Oglesby's political life during the period and his opinions of the organization and the greater movement that he worked in. For those who were involved with SDS and other New Left organizations during the 1960s and early 1970s, there will be moments when you find yourself disagreeing with Oglesby's impressions. There will also be times when you find yourself in total agreement. No matter what, the book is an honest and insightful chronicle of the time and its politics. Oglesby was always a presence. His brand of politics was what former Vice President Spiro Agnew might have characterized as radical-liberal. He was never a Marxist but Marxism informed his analysis.
The book opens with an innocence that is slowly lost as the war grinds on and the repression against the movement against it intensifies. By the end of 1968, Oglesby finds himself isolated from the very organization he helped build. His continued belief that there was still room for dialog with members of the war establishment was met with scorn and disdain by most of the rest of the SDS leadership and he was drummed out of the organization. This belief does seem almost naïve by that time, given the murders of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Bobby Kennedy earlier that year. To Oglesby, however, the alternative of a Marxist-Leninist revolution being offered by his comrades—among them many future Weathermen—was unreal and based on frustration and anger, not on a clear assessment of the political reality. To his credit, he acknowledges that he misread the true intentions of the counterintelligence programs (Cointelpro) being used against SDS. He thought they were merely collecting data, not trying to destroy the group. The future Weathermembers and many others knew better, even though their response was apparently just as wrong as Oglesby's diagnosis.
Like many former SDS members, including some former leaders of the Weather Underground, Oglesby blames Weather as much as he blames Cointelpro for the demise of SDS. Although I personally believe this explanation ignores the role of history and replaces that role with personalities, I must admit that Oglesby does the best to make a case for his position. One can still hear the bitterness he felt at his dismissal by the leadership cadre and his disdain for their politics and arrogance. To his credit, there is little vindictiveness on these pages, just what remains of the bitterness. The story of the demise of SDS will always be one that provokes spirited discussion. However, there is no longer any need to take a side in the argument. Instead, we should learn from that episode and the rest of SDS's history. Ravens In the Storm is a valuable and interesting addition to that history from an important member.

Selecting The Right Painter
Often, redecorating the home involves looking into paintings options for the walls and ceiling. The right home painter can not only add value to your home, but also establish a much more comfortable and attractive environment. As such, if you are looking into local Kamloops painting services, it can be a good idea to plan ahead in order to make sure that you work with the right group.
Hiring professional Kamloops painters can help ensure peace of mind. Begin by looking into local painters and prepare a list of them to begin narrowing down your choices. You will want the list to include at least three professionals that you can contact. Once you have the list ready, it is a good idea to get estimates from them. Estimates can vary between different groups, but it is important to consider the middle ground and see what professionals best meet your budget and expectations. If you notice that a group is asking for too much or too little, ask why.
After you gather the estimates, be sure to interview each candidate in order to learn more about what they can offer you. Ask them about how long they have been in business and whether or not they have the appropriate qualifications to be offering their services. Ask them about what types of insurance they can offer and whether or not their workers are insured for any injuries that may occur during their term. Ask about written guarantees as well, and make sure that the group's answers are to your satisfaction before you work with them.
Asking the professionals for any references that they can provide can be another good way to make an informed decision. Ask for at least three references and prepare a list of questions that you can ask them in relation to the services that they received. Compare the differences and similarities in their answers to what the professionals themselves may have promised you. Remember that every experience is different, but some common things that the references say can help you learn more about the company in a more candid light.

Maria Aitken (The 39 Steps) directs the new production, which also features Golden Globe and Emmy Award winner Kathy Baker ("Picket Fences," "Edward Scissorshands," "All the King's Men") and stage and screen actors Chris Mulkey ("First Blood," "Southland," "Twin Peaks") and Jaime Ray Newman ("Eastwick," "Catch Me If You Can").
The staging is on the mainstage Gil Cates Theater at the Geffen, which previously produced Murray-Smith's play The Female of the Species, which ran to sell-out houses in Los Angeles and was also produced on the West End, where it was nominated for an Olivier Award for Best New Comedy.
Murray-Smith's play Honour was produced on Broadway, the West End, and at the Royal National Theatre in London. She has written 16 full-length plays that have been performed throughout North America and around the world in many languages.
"When one seemingly inconsequential event throws both their lives into a tailspin, the couples find themselves wrestling with a moral dilemma: while it's human nature to want what you don't have, is it unnatural to abandon something that you do? This provocative new work draws audiences in with a beguiling hilarity that gives way to an unsettling twist, posing searing questions rather than providing comfortable answers."
The Gift was originally commissioned by Melbourne Theatre Company and received its world premiere in the MTC Theatre in Australia in 2011.
Geffen performances continue to March 10.
The production team includes scenic designer Derek McLane, costume designer Laura Bauer, lighting designer Peter Kaczorowski, sound designer John Gromada, projection designer Howard Werner, production stage manager Mary Michele Miner, assistant stage manager Gary J. Breitbach, casting director Phyllis Schuringa and dramaturg Amy Levinson.

Now that the fantasy playoffs are here, the Fantasy Doctor will be making regular house calls, answering readers' fantasy questions each Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Send your questions to the Doc at email@example.com.
Hey Doc,
I have a serious case of Chris Johnson "lackofproductionitis" and am looking for a prescription for this week. I have always been a firm believer in starting your studs (unless your RB is playing the Steelers, then maybe not), but C.J. hasn't exactly been a stud lately, and with playoffs starting this week, it's not a time for mistakes. Our format allows two RBs, three WR/TE, and one flex. I have C.J., Ahmad Bradshaw, LeSean McCoy and Jonathan Stewart as RB options, and Roddy White, DeSean Jackson, Terrell Owens and Santonio Holmes as WR options. I could easily start all four WRs along with Bradshaw and McCoy, but should be starting C.J. all the time, but his lack of production cost me a division title down the stretch. So whom would you prescribe me to start this week? Thanks Doc.
— Loren, Winnipeg, Canada
You're certainly not the only one who has been burned by Johnson, Loren, but giving up on him now would not be the right move.
CJ2K is about to take on a Colts defense Thursday night that is one of the league's worst against the run, giving up 142.8 yards per game. No matter how bad he has been, Indy won't have an answer for Johnson, who should be able to run all over its defensive front. Plus, if you bench him this week and he goes off, you'll never stop kicking yourself. Keep him active for at least the next two weeks.
Other than him, McCoy has to be in your lineup this week, as do White and Jackson, who are also must-starts. I also like T.O. against a Steelers secondary that he torched for 10-141-2 earlier this season. For your flex, I'd probably lean toward Bradshaw, who had a big outing last week and should remain a major part of the Giants' offense even while not starting. Good luck.
It's the first week of our playoffs and I face the powerhouse of our league. She (yes, I typed that correctly) has Dwayne Bowe, who has killed me during regular-season matchups. Last week I added Matt Cassel to go along with my normal starter in Eli Manning. Here's the dilemma: Do I start Cassel just to offset a big day from Bowe, or do I go with Eli who faces the Vikings this week?
— George
You could deploy Cassel this week to offset Bowe, but this can be a dangerous strategy, George. In this case, I don't think I'd recommend it.
Lots of people probably started Cassel last week thinking he'd go off against the Broncos, only to watch him throw for just 196 yards and one TD. This week, he has a much more difficult matchup going to San Diego, which is ranked No. 1 against the pass, allowing 186.3 yards per game. Cassel threw for a paltry 68 yards in Week One against the Chargers, and I don't see him exploding this time around.
Manning, meanwhile, isn't an extremely enticing option, either, but he definitely has a better matchup against a Vikings "D" that has given up 19 TD tosses. There's also a chance that he could get both Hakeem Nicks and Steve Smith back this Sunday, which would give him a solid group of weapons. To me, he's the safer start and the guy likely to finish Week 14 with more fantasy points.
