The Seattle Events Calendar for September 2013 is full of ideas for that last bit of summer. School may be starting, but there are still lots of fun things to do. Labor Day Weekend is the big summer finale, with Bumbershoot being the big event. The Washington State Fair, (formerly the Puyallup Fair), takes place in September as well.
It's also time for blackberries in the Pacific Northwest. They grow like weeds everywhere, and you can pick them to your heart's content. I always pick enough to make a pie every week and enough extra to fill up my freezer for the winter. And yes, we do have a festival in honor of them - the Bremerton Blackberry Festival!

New York Giants offensive lineman Dave Diehl offered up some advice for Jason Kidd on Good Day New York Monday.
Kidd, who just signed with the N.Y. Knicks, was arrested after an alleged drunk driving crash in the Hamptons over the weekend.
Diehl went through a similar ordeal when he was arrested for drunk driving after crashing his car in Queens last month.
Diehl had been watching a soccer game at a bar, while Kidd had been partying at a nightclub. Both ended up in jail.
Diehl was at Liberty National Golf Club in Jersey City Monday to play in the Newark Mentoring Movement's Celebrity Golf Outing, when Fox 5's Duke Castiglione asked him about Kidd.

Arc'teryx Hyllus Jacket
4-star: 1
3-star: 0
2-star: 0
1-star: 0
544 g / 1 lb 3.2 oz
Relaxed fit, Waist length
Polartec® Power Shield® O2 High Loft
Thick fleece with wind resistance, perfect for a day…
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $150
Thick fleece with wind resistance, perfect for a day on the slopes and a walk around Whistler village. I own the "Hercules" which is the same jacket in an older flavor.
- Wind resistance
- Warmth
- Looks
- Thickness
Con: The thickness of the jacket can be a little restrictive. Probably not the best idea for climbing, but great for skiing.
Pros: Everything else. Warm, sometimes too warm of a jacket. Warmth is comparable to Mountain Hardwear's Monkey Man, but this has added wind resistance and none of the "wow, that's a fuzzy jacket." The wind resistance is good, but only up to about 35 mph winds. Riding on my scooter, it starts to get me at about 35MPH. That's how I came up with that number.
Fit: OK. 7/10. Mostly a style jacket.
Water resistance: 6/10. The DWR doesnt last long, but it keeps you warmer when you are wet.
Breathability: 7/10
Warmth: 8/10
Layering: Not much room underneath, and it might be silly to put something on top of it.
Abrasion: Very durable for an insulated "soft shell".

Mortgage Rates Radar: Mortgage rates hold nearly steady
Rates on the most popular types of mortgages moved upward by the smallest possible amount, according to HSH.com's Weekly Mortgage Rates Radar. The average rate for conforming 30-year fixed mortgage rates rose by a single basis point (0.01 percent) to 4.36 percent. Conforming 5/1 Hybrid ARM rates increased by a like amount, closing the Wednesday-to-Tuesday wraparound weekly survey at an average of 3.09 percent.
Mortgage rates holding steady
"With little top-tier economic data to move mortgage rates, they are holding fairly steady at the moment," said Keith Gumbinger, vice president of HSH.com. "Although the temperature of recent data has been warmer, a condition which might presage rising rates, soothing words have come from folks at the Federal Reserve of late, and that has tempered a recent rise in rates."
Fed policies to continue
Federal Reserve Vice Chair Janet Yellen spoke before members of Congress last week in appointment confirmation hearings, defending the Fed's current stance of easy monetary policy and leaving the impression that if she is appointed, they will persist for some time yet to come. A vote to install her as the next Chair of the Federal Reserve is expected Thursday.
"Ms. Yellen would likely continue the QE policies started under Chairman Bernanke until there was very clear evidence that the economy would thrive, not just endure, without them," added Gumbinger. "The evidence so far is that the economy remains rather below a thriving level, so we should expect continued Fed support until those conditions exist."
Average mortgage rates
Average mortgage rates and points for conforming residential mortgages for the week ending November 19, according to HSH.com:
Conforming 30-year fixed-rate mortgage
- Average rate: 4.36 percent
- Average points: 0.17
Conforming 5/1-year adjustable-rate mortgage
- Average rate: 3.09 percent
- Average points: 0.11
Average mortgage rates and points for conforming residential mortgages for the previous week ending November 12 were, according to HSH.com:
Conforming 30-year fixed-rate mortgage
- Average Rate: 4.35 percent
- Average Points: 0.24
Conforming 5/1-year adjustable-rate mortgage
- Average Rate: 3.08 percent
- Average Points: 0.14
The Weekly Mortgage Rates Radar reports the average rates and points offered on conforming 30-year fixed-rate mortgages and conforming 5/1 ARMs. The weekly mortgage rate survey covers a large sample of mortgage lenders and is conducted over a Wednesday-to-Tuesday cycle, with data released every Wednesday. HSH.com's survey helps consumers find the best rates on home loans in changing market conditions. Unlike mortgage rate surveys that report average rates only, the Weekly Mortgage Rates Radar's inclusion of both average rates and average points provides a more accurate view of mortgage terms currently offered by lenders.
Every week, HSH.com conducts a survey of mortgage rate data for a wide range of consumer mortgage products including ARMs, FHA-backed and jumbo mortgages, as well as home equity loans and lines of credit from hundreds of direct lenders in the U.S. For information on additional loan products, visit HSH.com.

Being on television, we'll often get tweets, Facebook posts, phone calls, and emails from people out in "TV Land" asking questions or sharing their opinion. Some are funny, some complimentary -- most are good, but some aren't so good (I don't like your tie, why did it rain on my picnic?, etc, etc.). Trust me, I've heard them all! I received one of these such emails an hour ago I wanted to share. It's from a viewer named, George. For George's protection, we won't share his last name, town, social security #, so on and so forth….
I must ask why meteorologists are working so hard to convert us from humidity to dew point. We all know humidity. When you say the relative humidity is 905, you don't then have to explain what that means.
Notice, however, that every time you give the dew point, you then spend the next several seconds explaining what that means. You guys even take the time to put charts up to explain what dew points in the 50's, 60's, 70's feel like. Why bother?
To further prove my point that all this time spent trying to explain dew point is a waste of time, do you think there will ever be a conversation like this: "Hot, isn't it?" "Yes, but it's not the heat that bothers me, its the dew point." Not likely.
I enjoy watching your forecast and we do watch you every night. Keep up the good work, even if you must push dew point explanations.
Here's what I typed in response………
"That's me, George.....a "Dew Point Pusher" :)!! Funny!
The intent is to make it easier for all of you in TV Land. Yup....it's not about us...it's about you! Despite what you may have heard/learned, the relative humidity is not an accurate way to assess how muggy it feels to someone. Dew point is! In support of that, when was the last time you stepped out on a cold winter day and said...."Wow, it feels so humid outdoors!"? That's because the feeling of mugginess is created by a greater number of water molecules being present in the air. Dew point is a means to quantify how many water molecules are in a given volume of air. The more there are, the more "stuffy" it feels.
To further illustrate, relative humidity can be high, while the number of water molecules in the air is low. In those situations (during winter snow storms or rain storms, for example), it doesn't feel muggy at all. It may feel damp....but not muggy. Relative humidity reflects how many water vapor molecules are present, when compared with how many COULD be present for that air mass. Hence, the adjective "relative". The warmer the air mass, the greater its potential to allow water vapor molecules to just hang out amongst the air molecules. When the amount of moisture (water molecules) increases to a certain point, they begin to condense into a liquid, forming cloud droplets. SO.....relative humidity is a good judge to how close the air is to saturation (that point at which a cloud will form). That's why many people use measurements of relative humidity to gauge when they should dehumidify their basement, for example. Who wants it to be damp there, allowing mold/mildew to form?
Was that clear as mud?
Thanks for your email and for watching, George! We DO appreciate it!!
SO, the take away here is (1) the dew point is a useful weather term……AND (2) your next email/Facebook post/tweet could end up on http://www.wsmv.com. They're ALL fair game!

Remember when MSU used to have trouble after the UM game win or lose, it always seemed like we got beat up and struggled the following game.
Under Coach Dantonio that has reversed, we are now the team inflicting the damage.
MSU is now 7-0 following the UM game, where UM is only 1-6 after playing us.
That extends not only to UM, so far this year every single division one team we have played has lost the week following playing the Spartan Defense.
Other great turnarounds that Coach Dantonio has engineered in his seven years compared to the seven before he arrived:
Under Bobby Williams and John L Smith we were 1-6 vs UM, now we are 5-2 and no longer anyones little brother.
UM used to be 5-2 in the week after playing us, but now they are 1-6 after our D gets through with them.
We were 5-17 in November, but now we are 16-5 (10-2 since 2010) and no longer fold at the end of the year, but actually get stronger.
We only made two low level bowl games in 7 years, now we are on the longest bowl streak in MSU history at seven years and counting. (no one before Dantonio had made more than 4 bowl games in a row)
We were 18-35 in the B10 prior to Dantonio's arrival, now we are 36-8 and own the most B10 wins of any team since 2010.
In the previous seven years we only had one winning B10 season where we finished tied for 4th, now we are set to finish 1st three out of the last four years, and will own 2 of the only 3 legends division titles that will ever exist.
To help put things in perspective:
Since 1966 we we will have 20 bowl games in total, and more than 1/3 of those will belong to Coach Dantonio.
In MSU history Coach Dantonio owns both of the record setting 11 win seasons, and has a chance to top that this year.
Since 1966 ten MSU coaches have only been able to win at least 9 games six times in all those years, and Coach Dantonio is responsible for four of those six.

It's true—former Stanford QB Nottingham intends to transfer to Columbia
Remember that rumor we told you about Brett Nottingham last week? Well, according to this article from The Bootleg—Scout.com's Stanford athletics blog—it turns out that rumor is true. Though Athletics cannot comment on potential recruits until they are admitted and a deposit is in due to Ivy League rules, Nottingham's word is confirmation that he plans on taking his talents to the Big Apple.
"I am excited to say I am in the process of applying to Columbia University," Nottingham said to The Bootleg. "Pending admissions, I plan on playing football for head coach Pete Mangurian and the Columbia Lions."
Per the same article, Nottingham was scheduled to major in Science, Technology, and Society at Stanford. It is currently unclear to which Columbia school Nottingham is applying, but he'd be eligible to play in 2013 irrespective of where he'd land, as he's transferring from a FBS to an FCS football program. Nottingham has finished all essays and applications, and will get a job and train while he's waiting to hear back from CU. If admitted, he would join Columbia football in the summer. More »
13 New Year's resolutions you shouldn't bother making
1. Going to Dodge on a regular basis. You tell yourself this every day.
Do you think telling yourself the same thing at midnight on January 1st is going to conjure up some Fairy Godmother who just happens to look like Jillian Michaels?
Just give up on trying to find your inner self-discipline and get thee to SSOL and sign up for lap swim.
2. Trying not to use one of these words in your everyday language.
The fact that "Fiscal Cliff" and "YOLO" made the list of words to be banished is kind of understandable, but "Boneless Wings?"
What kind of soulless being (Barring vegetarians and vegans.) doesn't like boneless wings?
3. Quit procrastinating.
Think about it, without procrastination, how would you ever catch up on Battle Star Galactica: Blood and Chrome and the Lizzie Bennet Diaries? More »
Surprise! You're in 'Teen Vogue'
Barnard and Columbia students were ready for their close-up even during the busy weeks at the end of the semester. Teen Vogue's Street Style team snapped shots of 15 chic students for a winter outfit feature on their website last week.
"It was very flattering [to appear in the gallery] and at the same time quite funny," Columbia College Student Council President Karishma Habbu, CC '13, wrote in an email.
"That day I had rolled out of bed, had hardly washed my face, and was rushing (as I was 20 minutes late), to class on a Friday morning a few weeks ago," she wrote. "The reason I had that silly hat on was because I was having a bad hair day." More »
NY Post: Kazakhstan president's nephew faked diploma to attend GS
Last summer, the New York Post reported that Daniyar Nazarbayev, the nephew of Kazakhstan's president, faked his way into Columbia with a diploma that might not have been real.
And now, the Post reported today that email exchanges between Columbia administrators say that there is still no verification that Nazarbayev, who graduated in 2010, received an official high-school diploma at all.
"The Office of Admissions is concerned about the authenticity of the official, certified translations of secondary-school documents presented with his application for admission," Curtis Rodgers, dean of enrollment management for the school of general studies, said in an email to Jeri Henry, associate dean of judicial affairs, according to the Post.
Spectator has reached out to a University spokesperson, but the Office of Communications and Public Affairs is closed until Wednesday.
Could a Stanford quarterback be coming to Columbia?
An unconfirmed rumor around the blogosphere is that Stanford junior quarterback Brett Nottingham will be making his way to Morningside Heights.
ESPN reported last Saturday Nottingham plans to transfer, and the Stanford athletic department today confirmed to Spectator that Nottingham is no longer a part of its football program.
If the rumor proves to be true, Nottingham would certainly be a major addition to the Light Blue. Coming out of Monte Vista High School in Danville, Calif. in 2010, the quarterback was a four-star recruit, and ranked as the fourth-best pro-style quarterback prospect in the nation by rivals.com.

Meet the latest search committee members
Nicholas Dirks suddenly resigned as executive vice president for Arts and Sciences last month to become chancellor of UC Berkeley, paving the way for the search committee process we've all come to know and love. Now, that time has come.
University President Lee Bollinger just announced the 15-member committee that will recommend candidates to replace Dirks, and it's a diverse group: 10 professors, a dean, two alumni, a graduate student, and an undergraduate student (Daphne Chen, CC '14 and Columbia College Student Council vice president of finance). The committee's chair is international affairs professor Robert Jervis.
Bollinger said that he wants to choose a new A&S EVP by the end of the academic year. For the full list of committee members, look after the jump. More »

BC '13 Commencement will be at Radio City Music Hall
Barnard has moved off campus for its 2013 Commencement.
Dean Avis Hinkson announced in an email this afternoon that Radio City Music Hall will be the graduation site for this year's ceremony.
Graduates will be allowed to bring six family members and guests, and students and faculty will be bused to the New York City landmark. (No word on how families will find their way there.) The full email:
Dear Barnard Students,
We are delighted to announce that Barnard's 2013 Commencement will be held on Sunday, May 19th at 4pm at Radio City Music Hall. Since its opening in 1932, Radio City has been both a national landmark and a New York City treasure and, after a comprehensive search, proved to be the optimal venue for this milestone celebration. It will comfortably accommodate our seniors, six guests per graduate, faculty, staff, and distinguished guests. More »
Student rock group Jeffers Win releases new music video
It appears that finals season is the perfect time for talented Columbia musicians to share their talent with our community. Along with the Morningsiders' release of "Empress" a few days ago, Columbia band Jeffers Win has released their new video for "I Can't Call You (I'm in the Army)" this week.
Columbia students Stephan Adamow, Cam Johnson, Henry Murphy, and P.J. Sauerteig, all CC '15, formed Jeffers Win last year. The student-by-day, rockstar-by-night persona is a special breed on this campus, but they remain delightfully down-to-earth. Sauerteig commented on the songwriting for "I Can't Call You," saying, "I have to admit that a good amount of the lyrics were ad-libbed one night in my Furnald single room," and even offered some fashion advice from his experience in front of the camera: "Never be afraid to rock an American flag bandana."
Yet above all Jeffers Win's remarkable musical talent shines in their video release, the lyrics haunting and echoey over a catchy electronic beat that works as a bit of an 80s throwback.

Aerate your lawn - Fall is the time when a lawn naturally repairs itself from the ravages of summer stresses. You can help this along by aerating your lawn to open up your lawn to allow more air, water and nutrients to reach the root zone. Aeration will also help reduce thatch problems.
Fertilize - Lawns are beginning to store food and transferring energy downwards to build a stronger root system. Applying a fall fertilizer will promote a stronger root system and healthier turf.
To rake or not to rake? - The answer to this is one of personal preference. I choose to grind up the leaves that fall on my lawn instead of raking them up, putting them in paper bags that I have to purchase and placing a $2.00 sticker on each bag. Research has shown that grinding up leaves and leaving them on your lawn does not contribute to the thatch layer and can actually add to the organic content on your soil.
Control Weeds - There are numerous weeds that start to germinate in the fall, such as dandelions, some thistles and Shepherd's Purse. Applying a weed control in the fall lead to less weeds in the spring.
Fertilize - Avoid using high nitrogen fertilizers in the fall. You have to allow time for warm season grasses to harden-off before they go into dormancy. Apply a fertilizer that is higher in potassium (the last number on a fertilizer bag analysis) in the fall.
Control Weeds - As with northern areas, there are numerous winter annual weeds that germinate in the fall. Get these under control before they have a chance to get established in your lawn.

Wartime censorship blinds public, reporter says
By Namrata Savoor
Printer-friendly page
ARLINGTON, Va. Press censorship during wartime blinds the public to the reality of war and minimizes the horrors of combat, said Patrick Sloyan, senior correspondent for Newsday, June 3 at an Inside Media program at the Newseum.
The United States government heavily censored the press during the Persian Gulf War in 1991, Sloyan said. "We were badly hindered during (operation) Desert Storm," he said, adding that every story was subjected to censorship and could even be blocked from reaching newsrooms.
"It was a total breach of the First Amendment," Sloyan said.
Troops in the field are happy to talk to reporters about their experiences, Sloyan said. "There's a great tradition between the press and the military outside of Washington."
Sloyan said the public was mistaken in thinking that journalists are not patriotic just because they balk at censorship and persevere to report freely during wartime.
"Reporters are always willing to censor themselves" to ensure that they don't endanger their troops by revealing information about military moves and operations, Sloyan said. "There are ground rules to protect national security," he said. "It's an indication of not only our patriotism but (of) our common sense."
By observing how the government controlled the press during the Persian Gulf War, Sloyan said he was convinced that journalists were still unaware of key events.
For example, he said, on further investigation he discovered more than half of the 146 U.S. casualties were caused by self-inflicted wounds and friendly fire incidents. Withholding such information "was an official Washington-level effort to cover up the reality of war," he said.
Sloyan said he uncovered similar stories after the 1989 U.S. invasion of Panama to oust presidential usurper Manuel Noriega and restore the elected president. "I met soldiers later who told me that they killed 40 or 50 people … in one hour … . (It) turned out they were all civilians."
In 1983, when the U.S. invaded Grenada to protect Americans there and shore up a constitutional government, Sloyan said the American press was banned from going to the war zone. "Everything you heard saw or heard about Grenada in the first couple of days … was from government film or government spokesmen," he said.
Panama was no different, Sloyan said, when the United States government forbade even local reporters from covering the war. A group of reporters heading for Panama from Washington was not allowed to leave the United States, Sloyan said.
"What happened in Panama we'll never know. What happened in Grenada, it's hard to piece together," he said. He called such information control a "calculated effort" by politicians to garner "voter support for military conflicts, (without) wanting the voters to see the horrors that go along with war."
The discussion was one in a series of programs related to the Newseum's War Stories exhibit, which runs through Nov. 11.

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) -- Taxable sales in Nevada jumped 7.1 percent in November compared to the same month the previous year, marking the 29th consecutive month of gains and steady progress in the state's long climb out of recession.
A report Tuesday by the Nevada Department of Taxation shows merchants statewide sold $3.6 billion in goods in November, with big increases noted in sales of vehicles and parts, machinery manufacturing, and specialty trade contractors.
In Nevada's population hub of Clark County, sales rose 5.2 percent. Northern Nevada's Washoe County saw sales rise 5.5 percent.
Ten of Nevada's 17 counties recorded improved sales activity.
Gross sales and use tax collections totaled $284.6 million, an increase of nearly 7 percent.
The amount that goes to the state general fund also rose about 7 percent.

Springfield is remembering the victims in the Boston Marathon attack and sent prayers to all of those affected Tuesday night.
Residents came out to the Foster Memorial Church on Wilbraham Road in Springfield just to have a place to pray with others.
Victims and first responders were on the minds of those at Foster Memorial church. "We can be first responders, and that's critical, but then who prays for the first responders," said Robin Withers, of Springfield.
Candles were lit and everyone got to say their own prayer for anyone they know was affected. "Let us pray for the victims, pray for our first responders, our elected officials," said one speaker at the vigil.
Mayor Domenic Sarno sat and prayed with residents and on his mind was 8-year-old Martin Richard. "In my eyes, you can see that young man, Martin Richard. He was 8 years old, and is now up in heaven," said Sarno.
Sarno also said bringing the community together will help them heal. "It's good that people come together as one in the house of prayer. It helps them better to understand the situation and move forward," said Sarno.
"We just keep going on and hope for the best, and keep praying," said Withers.
On Tuesday, Sarno reached out to both Gov. Deval Patrick and Boston Mayor Tom Menino to send his condolences and offered any help to the city of Boston.

While our servicemen and women protect our freedoms and ability to spend the holidays safe with our families, many of them are away from their families and need a little extra cheer.
That's where the American Red Cross comes in. Holiday Mail for Heroes is a program to send our overseas troops holiday cards.
Some students from Curtis Baptist joined Augusta Mayor Deke Copenhaver and Fort Gordon's Major General, LaWarren Patterson to make handmade cards to send to soldiers.
They say a little note from a small child can make a big difference to a soldier.
"I think it'll be a great feeling: They get letters from home, from family, but to know the children are coming out and saying 'thank you' to them and to people they don't know, that's great," Augusta Mayor Deke Copenhaver said. "One percent of our country volunteers to protect the rest of us, so I think anything we can do for them is a great thing."
You can send a card too! The must be postmarked no later than December 6th. You shouldn't include pictures, money, or any other items. Be sure to sign the card to your soldier.
If you have any questions, visit Holiday Mail for Heroes.

Do you have to include every job you've ever held on your resume? The short answer is no.
The more thoughtful response is that you want to include information that positions you appropriately for the jobs you're seeking, showcases your valuable skills and experiences, and doesn't raise red flags in the employer's mind. If you need tips and templates for creating the ideal resume to represent you, check out Job and Career Accelerator's Resume Builder for a pain-free introduction to the basics or to polish up your latest draft.
So it's perfectly OK to omit a 3-month summer job if it doesn't add value to your resume. It's fine to leave off unrelated positions even if they were full-time and of lengthy duration. But whatever you do, make sure you're prepared to discuss any gaps or omissions during a job interview without sounding defensive or evasive and without dwelling on irrelevant experiences.
A job application, however, is not the same as a resume. Job applications are legal documents and usually state that the application is a complete record of your employment. So you do need to include all of your jobs and other experiences that you might have chosen to omit from your resume.
In a nutshell, your job application = the whole truth. Your resume = the truth. Just remember these simple guidelines and be prepared to discuss any part of your past with a potential employer.

David Frum expresses his mixed feelings about Sarah Palin #FrumRage http://t.co/BZXgMyy2dU—
Noah Rothman (@NoahCRothman) October 25, 2013
As Twitchy reported earlier, Sarah Palin sent her regrets to CNN's Piers Morgan, saying she was "too busy doing, um, er… pretty much anything" to accept an invitation to appear on his "shambolic" show. As proof, she posted a photo of herself with a hunting rifle and a dead bear — someone else's bear, according to gun scold David Frum. The whole thing was just a photo op, you see, and also a poor example of gun safety.
Sarah Palin demonstrates on Facebook that she knows nothing about gun safety mediaite.com/online/wow-thi…—
(@davidfrum) October 25, 2013
And yet despite how busy she is, Palin still found time to stage a phony photo op with somebody else's dead bear mediaite.com/online/wow-thi…—
(@davidfrum) October 25, 2013
Is it really someone else's bear? Does anyone care? Beargate, anyone?
@davidfrum Still obsessed with Palin. eh?—

@GaltsGultch Hi @davidfrum. WTF? That's how far you have to go for "proof"? You know the rifle's loaded? Okay there, Kreskin! #Puhleeeeeze—
Sean O (@Sean_for_3) October 25, 2013
@davidfrum I expected the article to detail the "staged" photo. You know…since you're a reporter and all, but I found no mention.—
(@365conservative) October 25, 2013
It's true; the Mediaite story to which Frum links makes no mention of a staged photo op, only that Palin's post was of a "particularly terrifying hunting photo." Terrifying to Frum, perhaps?
Hey David Frum. Sara Palin could kick your ass without a bear gun. She's more of a man than you'll ever be.—

Seamless Computing Microsoft and Bill Gates - plus Seamless Lawyering and Seamless Blogging
The Future: Seamless Computing
Seamless Computing
ZDNet just ran a story in German about Microsoft's Bill Gates and his new vision of "seamless computing" which was recently reported in English e.g. at the Guardian Unlimited and first presented by Bill Gates in November, 2003 as a concept at the 2003 Comdex in Las Vegas. The Microsoft website writes, quoting Bill Gates:
"Gates said the next great opportunity for the technology industry is to create software that breaks down the barriers between people, systems and information. Gates described this technology vision as Seamless Computing, and to realize it, Gates says the industry must deliver key software breakthroughs that create a platform and standards to allow digital information and systems to more easily work together.[emphasis added]
In this decade, we're engaged on delivering the final level of infrastructure, which is a software connecting infrastructure that connects all your different information together, that lets you work in a very natural way, connects you up to your speech, and your ink, and your photos, all those natural things. And so we talk about this as Seamless Computing, the idea that we, through advanced software, will be able to eliminate those things."
The word "seamless" appears to be "in". Indeed, the LawPundit blawg with its tagline "The Law is a Seamless Web" was founded on October 1, 2003. Is this one of those cases of collective consciousness or have the Microsofties been reading this blawg?
We are of course just kidding about that.
The Origin of the Term: Seamless Computing
Although "Seamless Computing" may become a "Microspeak" phrase of choice for the coming decade, as Mary Jo Foley suggests in her November 21, 2003 Microsoft-Watch article on On 'Seamless Computing' and Other Microspeak,
"[t]here are early public references to the term from Microsoft nemesis The Object Management Group."
As written at ENT News:
"Gates proclaimed the decade the era of 'Seamless Computing.' It's a term that students of history will remember was originally adopted by the Object Management Group in the mid- to late-'90s to describe its work in developing CORBA; Microsoft wasn't among the 700 or so companies that formed the OMG consortium."
The earliest article online we could find about "seamless computing" is The Seamless Computing Environment, a paper by Timothy J. Sheehan (Oak Ridge National Lab), Robert Pennington (Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center), Pillip M. Papadopoulos, George A. Geist and Richard Alexander (Oak Ridge National Lab) presented at the Intel Supercomputers Users Group, June 11-13, 1997, Albuquerque, New Mexico. See The Program, The Abstract of the Paper and The Paper.
If Microsoft were to register "Seamless Computing" as a trademark in the future, would it stand?
Foley writes at Microsoft-Watch:
"Microsoft execs first began talking about seamless computing (no "TM," but Microsoft is using initial caps when referring to the term) back in 2001, when the company rolled out Windows XP.
Microsoft seems to be equating Seamless Computing with interoperability. But Redmond's kind of Seamless Computing isn't focused interoperability among heterogeneous systems and software from different vendors (which is what most folks mean when they talk interoperability). Instead, Seamless Computing, according to Microsoft, is all about interconnecting Windows-based systems, from the Auto PC, to the Media Center PC, to the data-center hub."
Beyond Seamless Computing: Seamless Lawyering and Seamless Blogging
From the standpoint of the legal profession and law bloggers, the next steps forward in the evolution of "Seamless Computing" - in the spirit of the Eolas patent applications - are of course foreseeable to us all.
We can in the future probably expect to have the following two terms - sorry, we could not resist these. The first is:
Seamless Lawyering
Seamless Lawyering
"Seamless Lawyering" (TM) - the term is hereby coined and trademarked by LawPundit today, January 31, 2004, as we found no listings whatsoever when we entered this term in the Google search box. Under "Seamless Lawyering" we understand the seamless interoperable and ubiquitous digital process which extends
1) client acquisition through websites, blogs or similar online resources
to 2) client correspondence by blogs, e-mail and other digital media
to 3) speech communication via voice mail and comparable digital technologies
to 4) client representation through online resources, e.g. electronic filings - excluding of course any required personal appearances before courts, regulatory bodies or other government offices, and
to 5) execution of online legal tasks by legal professionals in the exercise of their responsibilities, including of course online research, contract negotiation through networked online meetings, and so on
- all such "seamless lawyering" to be achieved via the internet or similar digital means.
A "seamless client" would be one whose legal requirements would be fulfilled by a "seamless lawyer" who would never meet the client personally. As strange as this sounds, we are sure this will one day in fact be a digital reality.
and the second term:
Seamless Bloggiing
Seamless Blogging
"Seamless Blogging" (TM) - the term is hereby coined and trademarked by LawPundit today, January 31, 2004. Under "Seamless Blogging" we understand the seamless interoperable and ubiquitous digital process of the creation of blogs, whether as text, graphics, photography (both blogging or moblogging) or mixed media - all combined with the seamless digital distribution (e.g. by Atom or RSS, or similar existing or future technologies) of their content on state of the art digital media, such as computers, pda's, mobile phones, and future derivative technologies, etc. An optimized "seamless blogger" will cover the bandwidth of every possible digital technology and a "seamless blog" will be accessible by syndication at any time, anywhere, on any media by anyone.
Better Microsoft than Eolas
Are we kidding? Now why would we do that? We simply did not want Eolas to beat us to the punch.
In the spirit of good faith, however, we now thus throw the terms "Seamless Lawyering" and "Seamless Blogging" into the public domain, to be used gratis by anyone who finds them useful. As for "Seamless Computing" we will see what Microsoft and Bill Gates bring us in the future. Listen, the Law Pundit is a great fan of Bill Gates. What a bright guy and what a tremendous positive impact he has made on our age. Wonderful. Makes you glad to be here in this era.

A Hickory Hills man was arrested last Tuesday, accused of threatening to stab another man and his dogs in southwest suburban Palos Hills.
Frederick Kalvelage, 46, is charged with aggravated assault in connection with the March 4 incident in the 10200 block of 86th Terrace, Palos Hills police said in a release.
Officers responded about 10:45 a.m. and spoke to a victim who claimed a man came up to him while he was walking his dogs, the release said.
They started talking about dogs, but then the man "became very angry," pulled out a knife and threatened to stab him and his dogs, the release said.
Police found Kalvelage walking several blocks away with a knife on him, and the victim positively identified him as the suspect, the release said.
Kalvelage will next appear at the Bridgeview courthouse April 16, the release said. Bond information was not immediately available.

Rihanna & Ciara Fight & Make Up Via Twitter
[photogallerylink id=81377 align=left]
It all started when [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Ciara[/lastfm] appeared as a guest on E TV's "Fashion Police" with Joan Rivers.
While discussing [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Rihanna[/lastfm]'s fashion, Ciara claimed she had recently bumped into her and she "wasn't the nicest".
Joan translated for Ciara, calling Ri a "b***h," gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrl!
Rihanna then took to her Twitter page to lash out at Ciara:

Rihanna (@rihanna) February 26, 2011

Ciara (@ciara) February 26, 2011

Ciara (@ciara) February 26, 2011
But soon after, Rihanna bared her feelings to Ciara:
Ciara baby, I love u girl! U hurt my feelings real bad on TV! I'm heartbroken! That's y I retaliated this way! So sorry! #letsmakeup—
Rihanna (@rihanna) February 26, 2011
And before we knew it, the two had broken out in a virtual Twitter hug and made up:
Rhi u know its always been love since day 1! Doing shows/everything. you threw me off in that party!
Apology accepted. Let's chat in person—
Ciara (@ciara) February 26, 2011

The Braves started the scoring in the bottom of the first behind the speed of Michael Bourn. A Dan Uggla broken bat fly ball to shallow left field was just deep enough to allow the speedster to tag and score. The run was facilitated by a Matt Garza throwing error into right centerfield when trying to turn a double play. The Braves then added to the lead in the second, when back-to-back infield hits by Gonzalez and Constanza led to runs.
Constanza then scored again in the fourth inning when he stole second and third and was driven in by a Michael Bourn broken bat flair. This stretched the lead to 4-0 Braves before the Cubs got their rally going. The Cubs were able to tie the game up in the top of the sixth with a four-run inning. Beachy gave up two singles and was pulled for Scott Linebrink. Just back from the disabled list, Linebrink showed some rust, giving up three straight singles of his own without getting an out. Arodys Vizcaino came in to strike out three batters, one of which reached first on a wild pitch. He was credited with two wild pitches during his two thirds of an inning, though one that allowed Alfonso Soriano to score probably should have been a passed ball on McCann.
Heyward in conjunction with poor Cubs fielding provided the Braves with the lead again in the bottom of the sixth. Heyward slapped a base knock into right field and stole second base. Alex Gonzalez hit an effective swinging bunt that Cubs' pitcher, John Grabow, threw away allowing Heyward to come across. O'Flaherty gave up a big two run shot in the seventh to Carlos Pena to surrender the aforementioned lead and give the Cubs a 6-5 advantage that they would ultimately hold.
This Darwin Barney cat not only end Uggla's hitting streak at 33 games with the most spectacular play of the weekend, but also went three for five and scored two of the Cubs' runs today. Brandon Beachy looked good today, striking out eight in five and one third innings. O'Flaherty, Venters, and Kimbrel at one point struck out six straight batters to bring the Braves' total to eighteen on the day.

State Rep. Tom Cross, who used $1,000 worth of groceries at a press conference to demonstrate how much the average family paid in additional taxes over the last year, donated half of the food Thursday to the .
Cross (R-Oswego), House Republican leader, was joined by state Sen. Christine Radagno (R-Lemont), Senate Republican leader, and other GOP officials in Chicago at the media event on the one-year anniversary of the state income tax hike signed into law by Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn.
For the average family of four, the increase added up to about $1,000, officials said.
Cross said the state should have cut Medicaid and pension expenses before voting for the tax increase, according to an article in the Chicago Tribune.
"I think the most troubling aspect about this for us is that we could have avoided this," Cross was quoted as saying. "If you're an Illinois taxpayer, you ought to resent this. You ought to be angry about it. You ought to say, 'Why didn't you do the things you know needed to be done?'"
The Republicans are calling for a repeal of the tax increase, which escalated personal income tax from 3 percent to 5 percent.
In response, a Quinn spokeswoman said the idea is unrealistic and the equivalent of wanting to "repeal reality," the Trib article said.
"We just can't take the plan seriously," said budget spokeswoman Kelly Kraft, who said the increase brought in an estimated $7 billion last year.
Radogno paid for the other half of the groceries used as a prop during the press conference.

|WCORHA to host work-site wellness summit
|Friday, September 06, 2013 12:00 AM
Information submitted
CELINA — Auglaize, Mercer and Van Wert County business leaders, local healthcare providers, along with wellness experts from around the state, will gather for a summit on work-site wellness on Sept. 18 at Romer's Catering in Celina. The group will discuss The Affordable Care Act's impact on workplace wellness programs; the importance of workplace wellness, which will include a round-table discussion by our local hospital CEOs; healthier employees equal less injuries and incidents; and promoting a culture of wellness.
The summit is hosted by West Central Ohio Regional Healthcare Alliace, Jt. Township District Memorial Hospital, Mercer Health Hospital, Van Wert County Hospital, Grand Lake Safety Council and Van Wert County Safety Council.
Featured speakers include Laura Hoag, Senior Consultant of Findley Davies; Carol Morrison, Manager BWC; Kevin Harlan, CEO Grand Lake Health Systems; Lisa Klenke, CEO Mercer Health; and Mark Minick, CEO Van Wert County Hospital.
The Affordable Care Act has fundamentally changed the way that healthcare providers are paid for their services. Reimbursement now involves incentives for keeping people healthy and out of the hospital, plus monetary penalties for admissions that were potentially avoidable, as well as unplanned re-admissions. Individuals spend half of their waking hours in the workplace, with 60 percent not achieving their daily required fitness activity or making healthy food and beverage choices. Employees' health is at the core of an organization's effectiveness. This workshop will help to provide answers on how we can work together to provide good health for all.
WCORHA is a network of community hospitals working together to improve the quality and cost-effectiveness of healthcare services. For more information or to register, visit our website at www.wcorha.org.

The first DIY task that I tackled was our Save the Date cards. Since we are getting married on Easter Saturday, many people we know often go away for an Easter break, as we ourselves did this year, so we wanted to make sure they all knew to keep the weekend free.
As soon as we got engaged I knew I would want to make all of our stationery myself. I started thinking about ideas almost straight away but as I was in the middle of my professional exams to become an Architect, I didn't start making them until my exams were over and I had passed, which was in March this year, almost a year before the big day.
However, this didn't stop me collecting everything I needed to make the Save the Date cards. Having looked at hundreds of ideas in magazines, on blogs and wedding websites, I knew I wanted to incorporate different layers, purple card, vellum paper, ribbon and some stamping! I decided against magnets or folded cards early on and went for a small credit card sized card which I thought would be the most simple!
I actually bought the ribbon in Kate's Paperie in New York, the day after we got engaged. Luckily my aunt and uncle went to New York in May this year and they were able to get me more ribbon to use on the invites! Although I couldn't get any more of the purple card, I managed to find a company who had almost the same colour to use for the invitations.
You can find a full list of the items we used and where we got them on my blog – OurDaybyDesign
Although I really enjoyed making the save the date cards, they were so time consuming! They were only A7 size cards but this actually caused a few problems when I was trying to print onto the white paper. They kept getting stuck in the printer which was so frustrating! Of course, when it worked well it was fine! Since I wanted to use the purple card as a backing but also wanted to incorporate vellum, I ended up with the 3 layer design. I couldn't stick the paper and card together until I had stamped the paper and let it dry which added to the time it took.
However, the most time consuming part was punching the slots to put the ribbon through which also secured the vellum layer! I hadn't considered the thickness of the card and when the paper was stuck down it made it even harder to punch. The making memories slot punching tool I used was great but I think I expected to be able to use it really quickly like a hole punch when in reality I had to use a lot of pressure. So much so that I actually broke the first slot punching tool attachment and had to buy another full set!
So although I knew I would want the wedding invites to follow the same theme, straight away there was no chance of ribbon slot punching being incorporated again! I am using the purple card in pocketfolds for the day invites and gatefold cards for the evening invites. The original paper I used has a sparkling iridescent quality which I definitely wanted to use again, especially since the purple card and the grey backing card I added are flat matt colours. I also managed to find a different larger stamp which has the same sort of motif, as I thought the original one was too small for the invitations. I am using the same colour of ink again so that it looks the same.
Then of course, the ribbons will also be used, again at the left side of the invite so I can continue with the text on the right. I decided not to use a vellum overlay on the invites but instead started thinking about other ways to incorporate transparent paper. I considered going for a bellyband made of vellum but went off that idea when I started thinking about how I would close it neatly and the size required since the previous vellum used only came in A4 sheets! I decided to use grey ribbon for the bellyband to contrast with the purple card which works a lot better and is great since I do love ribbon! So in the end I have decided to go with vellum envelopes as that way the gorgeous purple card and grey ribbon can be seen as soon as they arrive through our guest's letterboxes!
Despite them taking much longer than anticipated, all of the guests really liked them and thought they looked great which makes it all worthwhile! I hope they say the same about the wedding invites, which you can see a sneak peek of them below! I planned to get all of the printing, stamping, backing cards & ribbon put on the day invites before I go on holiday on Saturday but I don't think that's going to happen. I have done 36, with another 12 at least printed which only leaves another 10 to do. However, we still have plenty time as we are not planning to send them out until January. Looks like I will be busy over Christmas!

The program exposes library staff who have the desire and potential for leadership in ARL libraries to important issues, peer institutions, and professional networks that will enhance their preparedness to take on senior-level roles.
image © Jim BumgardnerARL and the Society of American Archivists (SAA) have been awarded a $487,652 grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program in support of the new ARL/SAA Mosaic Program—a diversity recruitment program that seeks to attract students to the archives and special collections profession and provide support for them during graduate school. The program will provide a full suite of financial benefits and career development and placement support to 15 students from traditionally underrepresented racial and ethnic minority groups entering academic studies in archival science, special collections librarianship, or similar graduate programs.
In this webcast held on March 5, 2013, Martha Kyrillidou and Shaneka Morris of ARL's Statistics and Assessment program describe how to effectively use data from the ARL Annual Salary Survey to promote higher salaries for library professionals. They highlight salary comparisons from a number of perspectives, including geographic region, type of library (public/private), rank structure, and position categories. The webcast also touches on the history of the ARL Annual Salary Survey and its data collection approach, provides information on the utility of the salary information in the annual ARL publication, and discusses some key changes made to modernize the job categories to reflect current job titles.
This is the first in a series of four webcasts illustrating effective uses of data from the ARL Annual Salary Survey, which reports salaries for more than 12,000 professional positions in ARL libraries in the United States and Canada.
ARL Diversity Scholars 2011-2013, photo by Holly KuperARL is now accepting applications for the ARL/Music Library Association (MLA) Diversity and Inclusion Initiative (ARL/MLA DII). This scholarship program, funded by a Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and by ARL member libraries, offers minority candidates an opportunity to pursue the master's in library and information science (MLIS) degree while gaining valuable "hands-on" experience in a large academic music library environment. The initiative's goal is to increase the number of underrepresented racial/ethnic minorities within academic music librarianship by providing support for the graduate education and the practical experience critical for successful entrance into the profession.
In this webcast to be held Tuesday, March 5, 1:00–2:00 p.m. EST, Martha Kyrillidou and Shaneka Morris of ARL's Statistics and Assessment program will describe how to effectively use data from the ARL Annual Salary Survey to promote higher salaries for library professionals.
ARL is now offering a series of four webcasts illustrating effective uses of data from the ARL Annual Salary Survey. The webcasts will address what data are available through ARL, how these data can be used locally to make a case for better salaries, how to develop equitable salary structures, and how to analyze demographic information and trends about aging and other characteristics.
