The inimitable Grace Coddington, creative director of Vogue, visited Nashville this weekend to chat with model Karen Elson about her new memoir, Grace, at a sold-out event at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts. You probably know Coddington from the film The September Issue (or as Coddington calls it in the opening lines of Grace, "the only reason anyone has ever heard of me.") where she played the foil to the ice queen Anna Wintour.
It is this general waving-off of her brilliance and her monumental influence on the last half a century of fashion that sets Coddington apart from the rest of the fashion world. The same romantic humor and refreshing, familiar unpretentiousness that is found in Grace is, wonderfully, exactly how Coddington, with her shaved eyebrows and distinguishable head of red Welsh hair, seemed before an audience of Nashville's most fashionable.
The first time Elson—Coddington's self-declared doppelganger—introduced Coddington, it was at the 2009 British Fashion Awards, and a wrong step sent Elson "head over heels into the orchestra pit" and left her with a cracked rib. Elson's sophomore attempt at hosting Coddington left everyone intact as they chatted lightly, trading mutual adoration, reminiscing on modeling, heralding the era of grunge and giggling over Coddington's doodles of cats.
Although modeling and cats were the topics du jour, readers will be pleased to know that Grace only briefly covers Coddington's modeling career, devoting more chapters to working with photographers and designers, her favorite Vogue spreads, boyfriends and, of course, cats. She imbues her writing with a sense of laa-dee-da that comes from a life of good-humored charm, and she seems only to lament the passing of time when discussing fashion's transition into the digital age. A victorious doodle captioned "Eureka! I just opened my first email" makes light even of these monumental changes.
No matter the topic, Coddington's message is one of perseverance. She commiserated with Elson on the criticism thrust upon models, particularly when Eileen Ford, "the American doyenne of all model agents," announced that Coddington's 18-inch waist was "Fat! Fat! Fat!" She became a model anyway, and so much more. It's this attitude that makes Grace more than just a who's-who of fashion greats, as she writes:
"For me, one of the most important aspects of my work is to give people something to dream about, just as I used to dream all those years ago as a child looking at beautiful photographs. I still weave dreams, finding inspiration wherever I can and looking for romance in the real, not the digital, world."

In 1989, Ayatollah Khomeini called for Salman Rushdie's death for his "blasphemous" novel The Satanic Verses, a move which not only forced Rushdie into hiding for over a decade, but also stirred vigorous debate over the unconditional right of free speech. The vast span of this memoir chronicles years of flight, the paths taken toward writing The Satanic Verses—and every juicy opinion Rushdie kept bottled up until now.

Paul Auster made his breakthrough debut with his memoir The Invention of Solitude; 30 years later, he looks at his life again, now as it nears its end. This is an unconventional memoir, as Auster revisits life through the story of his body—where it has been, what it has felt and the memories it bears. The writing moves like memory itself, meandering and pliant—often abstract—stopping here and there to contemplate his journey and to encourage the reader to do the same.

First she thought she had bed bugs. Then she thought she was overworked. A friend suggested that she might have bipolar disorder. After a month of tests totaling almost a million dollars, Susannah Cahalan drew a clock at the request of the doctor. The drawing showed that her brain was inflamed.
Cahalan, a journalist, chronicles her journey from sane to manic to catatonic and back, relying on interviews with family and friends to shed light on the month she can hardly remember in her new book, Brain on Fire.

Joseph Anton by Salman Rushdie
Random House • $30 • ISBN 9780812992786
In stores September 18, 2012
On February 14, 1989, Salman Rushdie (Midnight's Children) received a call from a BBC reporter telling him that Ayatollah Khomeini put out a fatwa on him for the publication of his 1988 novel, The Satanic Verses. Rushdie's new memoir, Joseph Anton, tells the story of how that moment transformed his life forever, as he was forced underground with an armed police protection team, permanently in fear of the Muslim extremists literally out to kill him.
My reason for starting this book was simple: Rushdie is one of my all-time favorite writers. However, I rarely commit myself to nonfiction—I'm a novel and short story girl by nature—but I inhaled this one. The character of Joseph Anton (Rushdie's alias while in hiding) is written in the third-person he, allowing the present-day Rushdie some distance from his targeted former self, and giving the story a sense of fiction (because how could something like a novelist-directed fatwa be real life?).
The memoir is not limited to Rushdie's experiences living under the threat of murder, as he looks back upon all the elements that led him to write The Satanic Verses in the first place: life with his father, his schoolboy days, his simultaneous fascination and unbelief in God and, more specifically, Islam. There's also a certain juiciness to the whole thing, especially for those in the publishing industry, as Rushdie uses this book to lay bare every opinion he's ever had of anyone, as well as their opinions of him.
Catch a glimpse of Rushdie's consistently fabulous prose in the opener:
Afterwards, when the world was exploding around him and lethal blackbirds were massing on the climbing frame in the school playground, he felt annoyed with himself for forgetting the name of the BBC reporter, a woman, who had told him that his old life was over and a new, darker existence was about to begin. She had called him at home on his private line without explaining how she got the number. "How does it feel," she asked him, "to know that you have just been sentenced to death by the Ayatollah Khomeini?" It was a sunny Tuesday in London but the question shut out the light. This is what he said, without really knowing what he was saying: "It doesn't feel good." This is what he thought: I'm a dead man. He wondered how many days he had left to live and thought the answer was probably a single-digit number. He put down the telephone and ran down the stairs from his workroom at the top of the narrow Islington row house where he lived. The living room windows had wooden shutters and, absurdly, he closed and barred them. Then he locked the front door.
Whether you agree with the current presidential administration or not, odds are you like Michelle Obama; according to Gallup, 65% of Americans have a favorable opinion of the first lady. So, I thought many of you would appreciate a little tidbit I read at the bottom of a recent post on the New York Times' Caucus blog: "According to aides, the first lady is already gathering material for the memoir she will write one day."
Yippee! I know that a memoir written by a first lady is pretty much expected these days, but I won't lie and say I'm not very excited about a book penned by Mrs. O.
Speaking of memoirs written by high-powered women, there are a couple more in the works that might be of interest to women trying to get their foot in the door at work.
Kate White, the soon-to-be-former editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan, has written a book called I Shouldn't Be Telling You This: Success Secrets Every Gutsy Girl Should Know. HarperBusiness—who says the book is a "straight-talking new career guide for women"—will release the book on September 18. (By the way, White is also the author of the Bailey Weggins mystery series. Fans of those books should cheer her stepping down from Cosmo; she's leaving to concentrate on writing.)
A week ago, Publishers Marketplace posted the news that Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg will publish a book with Knopf in 2013. Called Lean In, it is a:
"call to action" on challenges facing women in the workplace, providing what she calls "practical advice for women -- and the men who want to help them -- on how to lean in and close the gap" (via Publishers Marketplace)
Do you enjoy business books and memoirs of how women rose to the top of their careers? Are you interested in Michelle Obama's life story? Of all the many, many political memoirs out there, are there any you think that stand out from the crowd?
In Hotels, Hospitals, and Jails, Anthony Swofford (author of Jarhead) chronicles his own journey as a fame-flushed author with his cancer-stricken father as they travel 1,000 miles in a 44-foot-long RV.
Swofford doesn't spare anyone in his account, not his lovers, not his family, not himself. He paints himself as a fast-living philanderer and a failure at being human. Fortunately, he is a studious traveler, and the journey ends on a hopeful note, with Swofford learning lessons from his dying father on how to lead a more meaningful life.

Winter Journal by Paul Auster
Holt • $26 • ISBN 9780805095531
on sale August 21, 2012
Thirty years after his breakthrough debut, the memoir The Invention of Solitude, Paul Auster returns to the medium in Winter Journal.
With the hindsight of Didion, the narrative elegance of Nabokov and the mesmerizing writing for which he himself is known, Auster (now 65) steps into what he calls "the winter of [his] life" by looking back on a lifetime. He shares his memories and the fleeting moments of his body—places it has been, things it has felt (both wonderful and terrible)—through threaded vignettes constructed of languorous sentences that feel much like memory itself. Each fragment careens toward death, a boat against the current.
Auster writes as "you," a device which could feel like an assault were it not for the accomplished writer behind it. At times, the "you" seems removed, peering at his former self in a distant way, as when he recounts the hours immediately following his mother's death: "No tears, no howls of anguish, no grief—just a vague sense of horror growing inside you." At other times, the "you" seems to be surprised and thrilled all over again, such as when he discovers his own penis at age five: ". . . how fitting that you should have a miniature fireman's helmet emblazoned on your person, on the very part of your body, moreover, that looks like and functions as a hose." And always, the "you" is hypnosis to trick you, reader, into remembering a life that isn't your own.
It's a fast read, never waning to nostalgia, that will move you to chew the cud of your own mortality and (somehow) still find time to disappear into your own memories.
You think it will never happen to you, that it cannot happen to you, that you are the only person in the world to whom none of these things will ever happen, and then, one by one, they all begin to happen to you, in the same way they happen to everyone else.
Your bare feet on the cold floor as you climb out of bed and walk to the window. You are six years old. Outside, snow is falling, and the branches of the trees in the backyard are turning white.
Speak now before it is too late, and then hope to go on speaking until there is nothing more to be said. Time is running out, after all. Perhaps it is just as well to put aside your stories for now and try to examine what it has felt like to live inside this body from the first day you can remember being alive until this one. A catalogue of sensory data. What one might call a phenomenology of breathing.
Will you keep an eye out for Auster's new memoir in August?
Mother's Day is this Sunday! Our May issue features five great books for moms (grandmothers and expecting moms, too!). Below are the book trailers for two of these books: Up by Patricia Ellis Herr and Bloom by Kelle Hampton.
Up is the memoir of a mom and her pint-sized hiking partner. Patricia Ellis Herr and her five-year-old daughter climbed nearly 50 New England peaks during their year-and-a-half adventure. Our reviewer called it "half hiking reference manual and half meditation on how to instill independence and confidence at a young age—an odd and oddly compelling combination."
Kelle Hampton, best known for her blog Enjoying the Small Things, shares the story of giving birth to a child with Down Syndrome. Her memoir, Bloom, is a "searing and brave portrait of her baby's first year . . . [that] gives a whole new meaning to the term 'open book.'"
No sugar-coated motherhood stories here. Will you check these out? Do you know a mom who would love to read one of these incredible memoirs?
Don't feel bad if Jenny Lawson, aka the Bloggess, makes you laugh at terrible things (dead pets, etc.). It's not your fault—her life has been ridiculous, her humor is questionable and her memoir, Let's Pretend This Never Happened, captures it all.
Here's what our reviewer had to say about Lawson's riotous book:
"This is the kind of book where, once you've got the lay of the land, a sentence like '[My neighbor] seemed more concerned this time, possibly because I was belting out Bonnie Tyler and crying while swinging a machete over a partially disturbed grave' makes total sense. It might also make you laugh and cry simultaneously, since the grave held Lawson's beloved pug and she was swinging at vultures who were trying to dig him up. If that doesn't make you laugh, there's a story about her multiple miscarriages and the subsequent birth of her daughter that's an absolute howler. No, seriously. Plus: Chupacabras!"
Is this a must-read?

Larry Selman: He Showed Us the Power of a Dollar
Posted By Patrick Kiger On January 25, 2013 @ 5:06 pm In Legacy | Comments Disabled
Larry Selman had a lot of strikes against him from the start. Weighing just three pounds at birth, doctors thought he wouldn't survive. In high school, he was identified as being developmentally handicapped and dropped out after a teacher told him that he wasn't capable of earning a diploma. The best job he could get was working as a laborer for the city parks department. After the death of his parents and a benevolent uncle who'd helped him financially, he struggled to live on his own in a small apartment in New York City's Greenwich Village.
[1]But Selman, who died on Jan. 20 at age 70 [2] in New York, transcended those obstacles by devoting his life to helping others in even tougher straits. He developed the habit of approaching people he met on the street and asking them for a $1 or $2 – not for himself, but for a charitable cause. According to the New York Times, over the past four decades Selman raised more than $300,000 for beneficiaries ranging from muscular dystrophy researchers to the families of those who perished in the September 11 terror attacks.
"I love helping people," Selman explained. "I don't get any money. I do it because I get a good feeling."
Selman became famed as "the Mayor of Bedford Street," after the address where he lived. "He's like our Forrest Gump," Bill Lavelle, treasurer of the local block association, told the Times in 2003 [3]. "But he's real." Though his more affluent neighbors had their differences with him over the years – at one point they tried to have him evicted for allowing homeless people to use his apartment – they ultimately were so moved by his generosity that they worked with United Jewish Appeal to set up a small trust fund to augment his Social Security benefits.
Even after a 2007 stroke compelled Selman to use a wheelchair and left him with slurred speech, Selman continued to raise money for good causes, according to this article [4] in the Forward, a Jewish publication. He spent the time just before his death raising contributions for a Jewish Association Serving the Aging project that provided pets as companions for seniors. His neighbors now are looking for someone to adopt Selman's own dog, Penny, who was his constant companion.
Here's the trailer to a 2002 documentary about Murray, The Collector of Bedford Street, which was nominated for an Academy Award: [5]

text: This is a comparison of the standard-style small-block cam nose (left) versus the '87-and-later factory hydraulic roller cam arrangement (right). Note that the factory hydraulic roller uses a step. This stepped nose with a smaller bolt circle must match the cam gear. That means there are two different cam gears for the small-block Chevy depending upon the cam chosen. This is a comparison of the standard-style small-block cam nose (left) versus the '87-and- Roller WarningOne area where you must be careful with production-based small-block Chevy hydraulic roller lifters is with high-lift camshafts. According to Crane's Director of Valvetrain Research and Development, Mark Campbell, valve lifts of more than 0.530 inch at the valve with a 1.5:1 rocker can allow the lifter to fall deep enough into the lifter bore (because of the lobe's small base circle) that the steel retainer can lose its grip on the lifter body. This allows the lifter to spin in the bore and destroy the camshaft. In checking a few cam catalogs, it is possible to order a hydraulic roller camshaft with enough lobe lift (in excess of 0.354 inch) to create this situation, so just be careful. This is why Crane created a long-travel hydraulic roller lifter that will allow you to run a high-lift hydraulic roller cam with the stock lifter configuration. These eliminate the problem but are also much more expensive than OE replacement lifters. Another solution would be to run a 1.6:1 rocker ratio with a reduced lobe lift cam to accomplish more valve lift. Roller-Cammed Ford 5.0sFord has been building 5.0L small-blocks with roller cams since 1984 in fullsize cars (although many others are still flat-tappet motors, so you have to be careful). In the Mustang, the first roller cams appeared in 1985 Mustang and continued through the '95 pushrod motors. One advantage of an '85-'92 Mustang engine is that the pistons are forged, making these an excellent performance engine platform. These engines also make great baselines for a stroker 331- or 347ci small-block, which can be built using the stock hydraulic roller lifter configuration to keep the price down. As you can see from the accompanying Ford parts list, Ford's price on a brand-new set of hydraulic roller lifters is a very affordable $125 compared to as much as $480 for aftermarket lifters. The stock hydraulic roller cams used in Ford 5.0L engines retain the lifters in a similar fashion to the small-block Chevy, with steel retainers that slip over flats on the hydraulic roller lifter. The retainers are held in place with a stamped-steel spider bolted to the cylinder block's lifter valley. The stock hydraulic roller cams used in Ford 5.0L engines retain the lifters in a similar Let's play out a low-budget 5.0L engine scenario here. Yank an '88 5.0L motor out of a boneyard Mustang GT and discard the EFI manifold. We'll assume the engine is in good shape. Do a simple ring-and-bearing rebuild on the short-block and the forged pistons to make sure the engine is well sealed up. Add a gasket set (make sure and get the one-piece oil pan gasket) and a new oil pump, and the short-block is ready. Next, dial in a performance hydraulic roller cam. A good choice would be something around 224 degrees at 0.050-inch tappet lift with around 0.540-inch lift, and plan on reusing the stock hydraulic roller lifters and factory retaining assembly. Then tune up the heads with a valve job, screw-in studs, guideplates, and a good set of rocker arms and valvesprings; top it all off with a set of headers and a dual-plane intake manifold; and you've got a solid 5.0L that will make around 325 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque. If you find a used intake and budget headers, it's entirely possible to build this entire engine for under $1,500. It's also possible to upgrade the '95-and-later 351W engine with factory-style hydraulic roller lifters and retainer assembly. These engines have the bosses cast into the block, which makes the conversion much easier. Comp Cams sells a retrofit roller lifter kit (PN 31-1000 and 31-1001) with a stock-type spider and retainers that can be added to certain of these blocks. However, this will require the proper base circle hydraulic roller cam to ensure that the roller lifters don't travel beyond the vertical capacity of the lifter bores. « | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | » | View Full Article Enjoyed this Post?

On September 2, the IMF approved a $553 million loan for Yemen to support the country's plans to strengthen fiscal and external positions, boost growth, and fight poverty by reducing inefficient fuel subsidies, improving governance, and increasing monthly allowances paid by the Social Welfare Fund.
Press Release: IMF Executive Board Approves a 3-Year, US$552.9 Million Extended Credit Facility Arrangement with Yemen
Regional Economic Outlook Update: Middle East & Central Asia
Growth has been tepid across the Middle East and North Africa, Afghanistan, and Pakistan (MENAP) region. In 2013, declines in oil production held back growth in the oil-exporting countries. Weak private investment, amid political transitions and conflict, continued to take a toll on economic activity in the oil-importing countries. Growth is expected to strengthen this year in line with an improved global outlook. However, weak confidence and, in some cases, large public deficits will continue to weigh on the region's economic prospects. Deeper economic transformations are necessary to ensure robust and inclusive growth and creation of enough jobs for the rapidly-growing labor force.
Economic growth in the Caucasus and Central Asia (CCA) is expected to decline from 6.5 percent in 2013 to 6 percent in 2014, mainly because of weakening growth momentum in emerging market trading partners (particularly, China, Russia, and Turkey) and a temporary decline in oil output growth in Kazakhstan. Risks remain tilted to the downside. In particular, a slowdown in emerging market trading partners may weaken exports, foreign direct investment, and remittances. Policy priorities center on rebuilding buffers and increasing exchange rate flexibility to help adjust to unanticipated shocks. Stronger macroeconomic frameworks would provide a more credible anchor to economies. Rapid credit growth in some countries calls for strengthening the prudential policies to ensure the continued soundness of financial institutions. Structural reforms to improve the business environment and governance, as well as closer regional cooperation, would enable CCA countries to achieve their goal of becoming dynamic emerging market economies.

Fraudulent Habitry
In 2011, I included a note here about Kevin Trudeau, who published a book in 2005 called Natural Cures "They" Don't Want You to Know About.* According to Wikipedia, the book was criticized for containing "no natural cures."
Trudeau is in the news again after being sentenced to 10 years in prison for false claims in another book, The Weight Loss Cure "They" Don't Want You To Know About.
The book, which claims a "diet-free" method to losing weight, actually outlines a 500-calorie-a-day diet. That's like eating only one plain bagel with cream cheese per day, and then crying out the extra 50 calories because you're still so hungry. The sentencing is shocking news for charlatans everywhere.
(*Important note: "They" = Federal Trade Commission. Obviously.)

Choi wins first PGA Tour title
Bryce Wade Molder (born January 27, 1979) is an American professional golfer who currently plays on the PGA Tour.
Molder was born in Harrison, Arkansas and attended public school in Conway, Arkansas. He attended Georgia Tech and graduated with a degree in management. At Georgia Tech, Bryce was a four-time first-team All-American golfer and was named the Collegiate Golfer of the Year for 2000-2001. A notable teammate at Georgia Tech was current PGA Tour professional Matt Kuchar. He played in the 2001 U.S. Open as an amateur and shot a 68 during the third round, but a final round of 74 left him in a tie for 30th. He turned professional later that year, placing third in his first Tour event, the Reno-Tahoe Open, which was won by John Cook. In 1999, Bryce shot a 60 at his home club, Chenal Country Club in Arkansas while playing a round with fellow Arkansan, then-President Bill Clinton.
Despite his strong first start at Reno, Molder missed earning Tour status in the Tour rankings for money earned in the late summer and fall of 2001. After failing to earn status via PGA Tour Qualifying school, he was able to secure sponsor invitations to Tour events in 2002, earning a T-9 finish at the Compaq Classic of New Orleans, together with top 15 finishes in two other Tour events, securing Special Temporary Membership on the Tour by finishing T-12 at the Buick Classic. Noting the pressure that attended his play of the 18th hole in the final round at Westchester Country Club's West Course, Molder, who needed to par the hole in order to insure earning the Temporary Card, said, "Sometimes the hardest thing in the world is to two-putt when you have to." For the remainder of the season, however, his strong form of the spring did not hold, and he missed securing status on the Tour for the 2003 season by one place in the Tour rankings for money earned.

McCain Targets Obama On Military Service
There's been a casual agreement in recent campaign cycles that presidential candidates with military backgrounds tout their service, but they don't necessarily denigrate their rivals for not wearing a uniform. In each of the last five races, one presidential hopeful had considerably more military experience than his rival, and in each instance, the one who served resisted the temptation to attack the other for not having served.
This year, that's apparently off the table.
Republican John McCain launched a harsh attack on Democrat Barack Obama's lack of military credentials Thursday, charging that the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination has "zero understanding" of veteran's issues. [...]
For McCain, who supports the unpopular war in Iraq and is running in a tough year for Republicans, Obama's lack of military experience may be his strongest line of attack in the fall.
Obama started this flap, criticizing McCain's decision to oppose a modernized, bipartisan GI Bill. McCain's overheated response made it personal: "I will not accept from Senator Obama, who did not feel it was his responsibility to serve our country in uniform, any lectures on my regard for those who did."
There are a couple of angles to this. First, obviously, is McCain trying to say he has credibility on the issue, by virtue of his background. This is a surprisingly weak pitch — McCain's service isn't relevant to his Senate votes that undercut those currently wearing the uniform.
Second, it's curious that so many in the media continue to believe that McCain is reluctant to campaign on his military service, when just the opposite is pretty obvious.
Reporters seem to be thinking of the 2000 McCain, who went out of his way to avoid talking about his Navy background. They may even be thinking of 2004, when McCain criticized John Kerry for reminding voters of his own heroic service. McCain said he was "sick and tired of re-fighting the Vietnam War," and disparaged Kerry, saying his emphasis on his military record is "clearly a tactical or strategic move."
But this is a far different McCain. This McCain seems to believe, "You can't criticize me; I'm a war hero."
Indeed, Bloomberg reported this week that McCain seems to be using his background as something of a catch-all "trump card."
Whether he's deflecting criticism over his health-care plan or mocking a tribute to the Woodstock music festival, Senator John McCain has a trump card: the Hanoi Hilton.
That's the nickname for the site where he spent 5 1/2 years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam, a past that McCain regularly recalls on the campaign trail to fend off policy attacks, score political points and give voters a glimpse of his sentimental side. He campaigns with squadrons of POWs and made a video to mark the 35th anniversary of his release from prison.
When Elizabeth Edwards, wife of former Senator John Edwards, rebuked McCain's medical-care proposal and noted that he'd always enjoyed government health benefits, McCain responded that he knows what it's like to get inadequate care — "from another government." During an October debate, while knocking a Hillary Clinton plan to help fund a museum celebrating Woodstock, McCain said he missed the 1969 festival because he was "tied up at the time." Even his rivals applauded.
Even this week, when McCain was pressed on why he flip-flopped on normalized relations with Cuba, he responded, "My record is unchanged and consistent for 24 years. A Cuban officer and enlisted men came to Hanoi and tortured my friends — killed one of them. My position on Cuba has been exactly the same."
The McCain campaign brings up the war "often enough to make sure it stays in people's minds, but not so much that it seems exploitative and crass," said Media Matters' Paul Waldman.
True, though if McCain's only defense for opposing expanded education benefits for the troops is "Obama didn't serve and I did," he's certainly getting awfully close to the exploitative/crass line.

Analyzing StackOverflow Users' Programming Language Leanings
timothy posted more than 2 years ago | from the drag-out-your-cliches dept.185
AlexDomo writes to point out this statistical breakdown of the programming languages represented at StackOverflow. "Suprisingly, JavaScript turned out to be the most 'over-represented' language on StackOverflow, by quite a long way at 294% [where "a representation of 100% means that the SO tag count is aligned exactly with the TIOBE language index"]. Could this also be because programming JavaScript is generally quite difficult and will result in people seeking help more often? Following this was C# (which I had expected to be number 1), at 153%. After this, PHP, Ruby and Python were basically fairly balanced at around 100%. The most 'under-represented' major language would definitely be C at 11%. Three other major languages which seemed to be a bit under-represented, below 50%, were C++, Java and Objective-C. For details of the method used and the full results, refer to the original article." One of the attached comments makes an interesting point about the difficulty in divining meaning from such statistics, though.

A little cheaper looking than described and one of the feet is about 2 inches higher than the others. The metal is too strong for me to bend by hand so I will use tools or find someone stronger to help.
like, me lo imagine mas grande.
Very nice however, has huge knobs to hold things and not enough of them. There is no exact place to hang earrings but I think it's up to you to find a place to hang them. Not very feminine. Could use some smaller hooks for dainty things.
I wanted a jewelry holder that could hold a lot of necklaces. This works great. It arrived quickly with standard shipping. It was in good condition, not wobbly and looks great.
More than "adequate," this display rack is larger than I thought it would be, though a nice size for my dresser. Sturdy, pretty and holds a lot. Recommended.

"The Frost Knight" - ROTG RP with nose-nippin-fun
It was the middle of the night that James felt the first chill of winter sweep in through the open window. With a shiver, he crawled out of bed and pulled the window shut. But after a slight hesitation, he grinned and pushed the window back open onto the quiet night. Despite the chill, James loved nights like this. Beams of the full moon's light made the entire kingdom glow beneath him. The view from his sleeping chamber window in the castle's east tower let the young prince see everything. Sticking his head out the window, James laughed with childish delight. Heights always made him dizzy and he loved it! With the illuminated world below, James felt like he could jump out and fly away, free to explore the kingdom and have adventures instead of being stuck in the castle. For a moment, he was no longer Prince James, 17 year old future king of Burgess. He was just Jamie. Pulling his head back inside, the giddiness keeping a smile on his face, he looked at the full moon above. "Thank you Mann…er, I mean Man in the Moon." His royal upbringing caught his slip of tongue. There may have been nobody around to hear his slip of tongue, but it was still improper for anyone to address the Lunar deity so casually. Especially a prince. But just as fast, Prince James grinned as Jamie once more. "Thank you Manny!" He laughed at his small act of rebellion. To the world, he may have been Prince James, leader in his father's absence and future heir to the Burgessian throne. But by himself, he could say anything he pleased. He yawned and continued watching the world below.
After an hour or so of watching stray cats roam the streets and drunks stumble home, Jamie stood up to go back to bed. He had tried to deny it before, but he couldn't deny how cold he was anymore. But just as he was about to shut the window, Jamie saw a shadow fly past. "What the?!" He pushed the window back open and peered out. The shadow was gone. He stuck his head out further, his shoulders following, when he felt his foot slip on the rug. His body tensed in panic as he felt himself slip forward. He was about to let out a yell when he felt someone grab him from behind and pull him back in. "Ya away with the pixies there mate*?" Jamie turned around to see his trusted guard, Bunnymund, standing there with his arms crossed. "I-I…" Jamie stuttered as he caught his breath. But he composed himself quickly as he always did. "I…don't know what you just said but thank you Bunny!" Jamie saw the guard's eyes roll a little bit. Not many people could get away with calling him that, but Jamie knew he could. "Up late again I see, ya majesty. Best be gettin yaself back to bed." HIs accent was thick and his tone was stern. "Don't want the queen to know you're up late….again." The corner of his mouth curled in a slight grin. Jamie chuckled and saluted. "Yes sir." Like wise, Bunny was one of the few people who could boss the prince around. He crawled back into his bed. "Good night Bunny." The guard walked out the door, closing it behind him. But a second later, he poked his head back in. "Good night Jamie." He winked and closed the door. Jamie drew the covers up to his chin and stared out the window expecting to see the strange shadow fly by again. After a few minutes, he sighed and shook his head. "This is silly. I must have been seeing things." He told himself as he reached under his pillow and pulled the raggedy stuffed rabbit his grandmother had made for him out of its hiding place. "I suppose I really shouldn't stay up so late." The prince closed his eyes and fell quickly asleep. His eyes closed just as the shadow slithered in the open window, carefully avoiding the moon light, and crawled under the bed.

It's a magisterial book of great scope and ambition that has the capacity to alter how we understand the artistic culture of the past 200 years.
In the 1960s, Rancière was a student of the Marxist philosopher Louis Althusser. He broke with his mentor over the worker and student protests of May 1968. Responding to what he judged to be the elitist underpinnings of his teacher's positions, Rancière subsequently worked to elaborate new forms of political analysis, and even of philosophy itself. In recent years, he has attracted a substantial following in philosophy, literature departments, activist political circles, and the art world. Well known for his penetrating analyses of art and literature, what distinguishes Rancière is his ability to draw unprecedented connections between ideas and practices customarily separated — a skill put to dramatic use in Aisthesis.

How many studies can dance on the head of a pin? How many studies does it take to change a light bulb?
OK, so you've heard all the "how many studies" jokes, but here's the point. The State Road 7 corridor project, one of the most important of its kind in South Florida, is on hold while it undergoes extensive study. Is it being overstudied?

Economy Jun 25, 2012
All of us are aware of India's inflation crisis. It is very disappointing, how we lost our grip on stable 4-to-5 percent inflation which was prevailing earlier. From February 2006 onwards, in every single month, the y-o-y Consumer Price Index (Industrial Workers) inflation has exceeded the upper bound of 5 percent.
All of us agree that there is something insidious when 10 percent inflation effectively steals 10 percent of the value of my wallet or fixed income investments. In India, however, we often hear the argument "Yes, this is bad, but if high inflation is the way to get to high GDP growth, let's get on with it". It is, then, important to ask: Why is low inflation valuable?
Nominal contracting is very important
The complex organisation of economic life involves myriad written and unwritten contracts involving households and firms. The vast majority of these contracts are written in nominal terms, i.e. in rupee values that are not adjusted for inflation.
Every society needs to adjust all the time, in response to changes in tastes and technology. When tastes or technology change, the structure of production needs to change, which involves renegotiation of (written or unwritten) contracts. These adjustments are costly. Contracting is costly, and renegotiating contracts is costly.
It is useful to think of a finite supply of adjustment as being available in the country. We should devote that full power of adjustment to the beneficial adjustments associated with changes in tastes and technology. In a place like India, where GDP doubles every decade, the requirement for adjustment is (in any case) large.
Inflation is an acid that corrodes all nominal contracts. Two people may have agreed on a contract two years ago at Rs 100, but that contract is thrown out of whack because of 10 percent inflation per annum. That contract has to be renegotiated. Bigger values of inflation corrode personal relationships also, given that there are many financial ties within friends and family.
Contracting is costly. Almost everything that senior managers do is to arrive at complex deals that create and sustain complex structures of production. This work is continually torn down by high inflation which makes the deals of last year break down today. Managers are able to build sophisticated edifices of contractual arrangements under low and stable inflation. These webs of contracting are harder to build and hold up when the acid rain of inflation is continually tearing these down.
Inflation messes up information processing
To continue on the theme of adjustment, the essence of a market economy is adjustments to relative prices, reflecting changes in tastes and technology. Firms learn about the viability of alternative investments by watching relative prices change. Inflation messes up this information processing. It increases the "background noise" by making a large number of prices change at once. This makes it harder to discern which price change is fundamentally driven, and merits a response in terms of increased or decreased production.
Building a sophisticated market economy is all about making long-term plans. When a firm decides to build an airport or a highway, this involves making NPV (net present values) assessments over the next 20-40 years. This requires having a fair idea about future inflation. If inflation will fluctuate in the future, then firms will err on the side of caution when making plans about the future, i.e. investment will be reduced.
I will stress that long-term investment in projects such as infrastructure or heavy industry relies critically not just on a long-term bond market (which, in turn, critically requires low and stable inflation) but also on the calculations happening in a spreadsheet about the NPV of the investment project, which involves projecting all revenues and all expenses for the next 20-40 years (which also critically requires low and stable inflation).
Impact upon pre-existing nominal savings
For a person at age 60 who expects to live to age 85 or 95, fixed income investments are absolutely crucial in the financial planning of these 25-35 years. These calculations can be destroyed by a short bout of inflation.
A civilised society is one in which people can make plans for the deep future, and trust in financial instruments. It is simply cruel on the elderly to inflate away their nominal assets. The possibility of even one bout of high inflation over the coming 25-35 years forces people to drop back to other mechanisms of protecting themselves in old age. What is needed is not just inflation control right now. What is needed is the environment of mature market economies, where outbursts of inflation are fully ruled out for decades to come.
Impact upon relationship with banks
In India, banks pay very low interest rates. While many interest rates have been deregulated, the interest rates paid by banks are held back by factors such as low competition and financial repression (ie forced purchases of government bonds).
When households expect inflation will be 12 percent, they will see a 4 percent interest rate paid by the bank as yielding -8 percent. This has many consequences. On the one hand, households and firms expend excessive (wasteful) effort on minimising their holdings of low-yield cash. In addition, households tend to shift away from fixed income contracting with the formal financial system. Both these distortions are caused by inflation, and exacerbated by flaws in the financial system.
If the financial system were regulated sensibly, then with high inflation we would immediately get higher nominal interest rates since buyers of 90-day treasury bills would demand higher interest rates to pay for inflation. This would reduce the damage caused by high inflation. In India, we suffer from bigger negative effects because of a faulty financial system.
These may seem to be small things but they actually are fairly large effects. Towards an understanding of the costs of inflation - II, by Stan Fischer, 1981, argues that perfectly anticipated 10 percent inflation induces a cost of 0.3 percent of GDP on account of only one factor: excessive efforts by households and firms to hold less cash.

Did you know that storm drains do not lead to a sewer treatment plant? They lead directly to a creek, river, or the Bay!
So be a good neighbor for your community and the Chesapeake Bay:
- Mulch your leaves and grass back into your yard with your lawn mower
- Sweep up leaves, grass, twigs, and other yard debris before they reach the storm drain
- Compost small debris at your home to keep your yard's nutrient cycle healthy (call Virginia Cooperative Extension at 727-1401 for advice)
- If you can't compost, clear-bag the small debris and set it out for city collection so it will be composted
- Pick up litter and other debris near your storm drain and put it in the trash
- Remind your neighbors that what goes in the storm drain directly affects your neighborhood and the Chesapeake Bay – the storm drains do not lead to a sewer treatment plant, they lead directly to a creek, river, or the Bay
Not only does yard debris cause neighborhood flooding, but as it decays it releases chemicals that pollute the Bay. Nitrogen and phosphorus on your lawn help the grass grow, in the waterways they help the algae grow too fast, die, and then rot and use up the oxygen fish and other seafood need to survive.
It is a bigger deal than it seems when you sweep those clippings, leaves, and twigs into the storm drain! Please take good care of your storm drains!

One time while we were traveling, my son Jesse told me that he was reading about the temptation of Christ. I asked, �What have you read so far?� He told me how Satan tempted Jesus to turn stones to bread. I then asked, �What did Jesus say in response.� Jesse answered, �Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.�[1] I prodded him, �What did Jesus mean by that?� Jesse answered with such child-like confidence, �Of course, you would die if you only eat bread.�
Seriously, what Jesus meant was that if we need food for our physical survival, how much more the word of God for our spiritual survival. That is why Jesus declared, �Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.�[2] The word �filled� means �satisfied.� This morning we will talk about �How to be Satisfied.�
First, we have to realize that we are �poor in spirit,� that is, we need God. Second we have to �mourn� or respond with repentance. That deals with our relationship with God. Then, we become �meek� or humble. That deals with our relationship with people. Then we �hunger and thirst for righteousness�.
In his message �How to be Hungry,� Dr. John MacArthur Jr. wrote, �Both hunger and thirst are intense desires. The concept Christ spoke of� was a more powerful concept in His culture than it is in ours. For the most part we don�t know what it really means to hunger or thirst. Most of us have never experienced a drought.�[3] But the original audience of Jesus knew what it really means to be hungry or famished and to be thirsty or parched or dehydrated. The word for �hunger� means �to famish� and the word �thirst� means �to parch� or �to long for ardently.� In short, to hunger and thirst means to crave intensely. To make it easy for us to remember, let us look at the acronym C-R-A-V-E.
�C� stands for CRAVE for the right thing. Jesus said, �Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness�� People crave for all the wrong things. We crave for power, money and attention. We are to crave for the right thing. In the Greek, there is an article before the word righteousness. We are not just to pursue any righteousness, not just the righteousness of men or of the world. We are to crave for �the righteousness� of God. Now what does it mean to hunger and thirst for righteousness?
When we put our faith in our Lord as our Savior, we were made righteous. �God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.�[4] The New Living Translation goes like this: �For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.� In Christ, we were made right with God. Technically, we call it �positional righteousness.� But that is not the righteousness that Jesus told us to hunger and thirst for.
What does it mean then to crave for righteousness? The Good News Bible goes like this: �Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires�. Your greatest desire is to follow the Lord. Technically, we call it �practical righteousness.�
Now, positional righteousness deals with who you are in Christ. Practical righteousness deals with what we do for Him. If we are made right with God, we will live right for God.

Former big league catcher John Stearns, who was hired this offseason by new Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon to the third-base coach has stepped down from the position after having surgery for a hiatal hernia on February 24.
Stearns asked general manager Jack Zduriencik to be reassigned, stating that his recovery from this surgery was taking longer than once thought and it wasn't fair to the team to have him miss so much time.
"I am not physically able to perform the role of third base coach yet, and it appears that I will not be able to perform the job until the middle of April," he said. "It is not fair to the organization, to Lloyd or to the players for me to expect to jump back in after not being able to participate in the bulk of spring training. I have asked Jack to re-assign me within the organization, and he has agreed to do so" — via Seattle Times
Zduriencik states that Stearns will be moved into the pro-scouting department once he is healthy enough to resume full-time duties. As for his replacement, Rich Donnelly, who was hired to manage Triple-A Tacoma, will continue his fill-in duties as third-base coach on a permanent level.
Zduriencik said he will decide on a replacement manager in Tacoma in the coming days. Daren Brown, Tacoma's all-time leader in managerial wins, seems like the logical choice. Though as we've seen all too often within the organization, they rarely make the logical choice.
Stay tuned.

Cindy Crawford Pulls Kids Out of School Due to Elevated Levels of PCBs
Better safe than sorry! Cindy Crawford is not taking any chances when it comes to the health and safety of her two kids Presley and Kaia, whom she shares with husband Rande Gerber. The celeb kids missed their first day of school at Malibu High School after testing showed elevated levels of PCBs at their school and others in the county.
PCB is a chemical typically found in the window caulking of older buildings that was outlawed by Congress in 1976. Over time it can cause cancer, damage the immune and reproductive system, and negatively impact brain development in children. Crawford, 48, spoke on the Today Show with special correspondent Maria Shriver about her concerns for her children on Tuesday, Aug. 19.
"I don't feel 100 percent safe," she said during the interview. "I look 10 years down the line, what if my kid, God forbid, had a problem? How could I live with myself if I knew that it was a possibility, and I still sent them there?" Read more.

SolarReserve gets approval for Arizona plant
Send this to a friend
- Staff Portland Business Journal
SolarReserve received approval this week from the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors to build a 150-megawatt solar power plant that will feature different types of technology.
The Crossroads Solar Energy Project will have the large 150-megawatt phase as a concentrated solar power project, with an additional 65 megawatts of photovoltaic solar power.
The project by the Santa Monica, Calif.-based developer is slated to be built near Gila Bend in an area that has been targeted by several other solar developers and has access to transmission lines that traverse the state and run into California.
SolarReserve's technology involves using heliostats or large mirrors to reflect sunlight on a tower to create the temperatures needed to turn a steam generator. The tower also is built with a molten salt storage system to provide more power when the sun is not shining.
The company currently is building a 110-megawatt facility near Tonopah, Nev.

Remember that kid in high school who was always in the middle of a weird game but he seemed to be the only person playing.
We know that Rick and the gang are fared pretty terribly in Georgia thanks to The Walking Dead, but how would survivors in other states cope.
You know that first scene in basically every zombie movie or TV show where the guy wakes up in abandoned, trashed hospital and then gets attacked by a zombie.
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
If you were complaining about this season moving too slow, you're not anymore.
Let's bring these plot threads together, shall we.

2Department of Physics, University of Helsinki, P.O. Box 64, 00014 Helsinki, Finland
Abstract. Aerosol characteristics can be measured with different instruments providing observations that are not trivially inter-comparable. Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) is introduced here as a method to estimate aerosol particle number size distributions from multiple simultaneous observations. The focus here in Part 1 of the work was on general aspects of EKF in the context of Differential Mobility Particle Sizer (DMPS) measurements. Additional instruments and their implementations are discussed in Part 2 of the work. University of Helsinki Multi-component Aerosol model (UHMA) is used to propagate the size distribution in time. At each observation time (10 min apart), the time evolved state is updated with the raw particle mobility distributions, measured with two DMPS systems. EKF approach was validated by calculating the bias and the standard deviation for the estimated size distributions with respect to the raw measurements. These were compared to corresponding bias and standard deviation values for distributions calculated with a mathematical inversion method. Despite the assumptions made in the EKF implementation, EKF was found to be more accurate than the mathematical inversion in terms of bias, and compatible in terms of standard deviation. Potential further improvements of the EKF implementation are discussed.
